OMFS Program interviews

[WestCoast]

He hasn't seen anything yet. I'm one of the nicer ones in this profession of OMFS.

Its funny the mentality that some of these dental students have. I guess the mere fact they are applying to omfs shows that they are top of the class and they have an attitude that goes with it. Even at interviews, many programs will be extremely nice to get new residents. BUT.. once the residency starts, then the game begins and theres no crying for mercy when the going gets tough.

Tigger is still grumbling thinking I have verbally abused him. I have done him wrong, I have hurt his feelings. He hasn't seen anything yet. I'm one of the nicer ones in this profession of OMFS.

I haven't slept all weekend... I'm too hurt
I will just leave you with this thought... Examing the human colon stinks...

Shows me he hasn't been in a heated externship or that he applied to programs by looking at the little book. It is just a whole other world. I'm not worried about Tigger... he'll be fine. But I'm on the sun and he is on pluto... he is used to being the apex preditor in his dental class....I don't blame him for not understanding... it appears I am the first to rough him up a little. It is good for him to get a first taste of his future 6 years.... most who have enough exposure know exactly what I am talking about. It is hard going from almost done to the starting all over...new culture/customs/methods...starting all over...on the bottom...I was once there getting whipped....but if I would have pulled Tigger-attitude on my seniors or chiefs at my externships or in my program, they would have knocked my noggin back to dental school.

Anyone else have opinions ?

 

[OMFSdoc]

Anyone else have opinions of Oregon vs UCONN?

I didn't interview at Oregon, but I liked UCONN. They covered 3 hospitals...UCONN, Hartford hospital (trauma) and Children's. Good scope between trauma, orthognathic, pathology and dentoalveolar. Don't know how their cosmetic scope is though. You're not gonna get very much in the way of cosmetics in the Northeast without a fellowship, but it doesn't matter if you're not really into cosmetics. Anyway, attendings were nice and residents were good. Academically they were pretty strong in terms of journal clubs and resident presentations at rounds. You have to take the USMLE step 1 prior to starting the program though, so you basically start studying after match day. If you fail, I believe you can take it again after your intern year (good luck studying during that year). I know they have a strong private practice attending base, but I don't know how many full timers they have there at this point, I heard they lost a few. Either way, good program, at least a few years ago it was.
I don't know too much about Oregon. From what I have heard it is cancer heavy (although everyone says that about programs that do cancer i.e. Maryland, Michigan, Miami, Oregon...usually the fellow cuts half and the attending the other half, I don't even know if the chief really gets to do anything in terms of cancer prior to graduation without a fellowship). That aside, Oregon is supposed to be a solid program, but it would be better if people who interviewed there commented because I could be wrong.

Go to Oregon...that way I won't have to compete w/you for a spot at UConn

Someone is smarter than I thought...=)

 

[TiggerJSA]

Anyone else have opinions of Oregon vs UCONN?

Actually, I changed my mind... Go to UCONN so I don't have to compete with you for a spot at Oregon

 

[GatorDMD]

anyone hear from UMKC, or UT San Antonio?

 

[Extraction]

Anyone else have opinions of Oregon vs UCONN?

Oregon & moonlighting - so I've heard

 

[OMFSCardsFan]

anyone here from UMKC, or UT San Antonio?

I would avoid UMKC...I would have done an intern year 5 times over before going there...and it's my home state...

 

[UNLV OMS GUNNABE]

anyone here from UMKC, or UT San Antonio?

I called San Antonio last week, they said they would be sending something out in the mail last week or this week. I think dates are Dec 8th/9th.

What finally happened with all the New Orleans residents?

 

[Bifid Uvula]

Thought I might throw this out there. I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible for each program I'm interviewing at. Can anyone offer some feedback on Alabama, Parkland, Michigan, Oregon, Maryland, LSU Shreveport, Louisville, and Jacksonville?? All feedback, posivitve/negative, and details are appreciated. Thanks to any assistance!!

Here's the skinny on Maryland. I know this program very very well, so you'll have to trust me on this one. I'm not at Maryland now, but I have a lot of ties with them still.

When you interview with Dr. Ord, make sure you tell him that your biggest interests are in the area of oral cancer and that you are contemplating a fellowship in Head and Neck Cancer. If you went there you would then like to proceed to MARX's program in Miami for fellowship. They are good buddies and like to send eachother applicants. Those of us who know them can attest to this, because they never shut up about eachother.

As far as Dr. Coletti, he covers a lot of trauma and absolutely hates it. He's amazing at hit, but he hates it. Your party line should be that it just doesn't pay $$$ and isn't worth doing when you are in private practice.

 

[Bifid Uvula]

A few more things... Maryland is not a malignant program that you hear about. Its practically country-club when you get there. No formal attending rounding except on Wednesdays. Trauma call is moderate. Implants galore. The dental school is a wonderful experience to have under your belt as well.... they love the 1st year residents.

I ranked them 2nd....

 

[UNLV OMS GUNNABE]

San Antonio or Pitt?

 

[Doggie]

San Antonio or Pitt?

Dont know about pitt, but my co-residents ranked san antonio pretty high.

 

[tx oms]

Dont know about pitt, but my co-residents ranked san antonio pretty high.

Probably Pitt. San Antonio is a great city to live in and the campus/hospital are nice. My last interaction with the program there was about three years ago. At that time they were having issues with resident salaries (not enough dough to go around, I think they were splitting 10 salaries for 12 residents or something), money for the department and attendings. The San Antonio medical school got in trouble for medicare fraud and was slapped with several million dollars in fines. The Health Science center as a whole decided that every school should help pay the medical school's fines; therefore, the dental school was being sucked dry, particularly the OMFS dept b/c they had the most revenue. They may have enough attendings now but I'm not sure what's going on with the money situation.

I have met at least one guy that wasn't all that happy at Pitt, for what it's worth. Maybe go to whichever interview is the cheapest for you to arrange.

[DDSism]

I know 5 people have left the Pitt program over the past 2 years. From what I hear, it’s miserable there. I know that during my interview, they told me these guys left for family reasons. They put on a good show, though.

Five residents in the past two years is an almost 50% attrition rate, given the fact that they accept 2 residents a year
Hope this helps…

 

[OMFSdoc]

I would remove those residents' names from your last post. I'm sure they wouldn't want them there. Would you want yours??? I believe you can edit them out because it was your post.

Congratulations! It's a step in the right direction. You don't bug us, that's what this forum is for.

Nothing a little 20 mgs of pepcid IV can't help.

[GatorDMD]

How are interviews going?

Great! Getting expensive however! Guess I should not complain There are some real cool folks on the trail as well as some real.... shall we say "tools". I just hope no one classified me as a TOOL! Seriously I hope I match with one of the cool ones ( assuming I match )

I had a good time during interviews meeting some cool people and I still keep in touch with some of them. There are definite tools.

So for everybody, would you rather prefer dinner the night before the interview or the day of interview?

 

[UNLV OMS GUNNABE]

Night before. You have to be there anyways. Saves you from staying an extra night.

The interview trail thus far has been quite a trip... Yo, Gator and Iowa, don't forget the $30 rule for "The Toolman Taylor" You don't really see how different programs are until you go out on the circuit. All got their pros and cons. You see how diverse the applicant pool is and how often the same faces keep poppin up, some welcomed , some not . Lookin forward to the rest of the next 2 months!

As for dinner before or after the interview, I actually prefer having dinner after the interview. I find it to be a good way to unwind and decompress after being put through the pressure cooker. Just my personal preference ...

Yeah Maryland folks rock! The trail is interesting to say the least. My new favorite show is "Tool Time" with Tim the Tool Man Taylor (I know it is not a real show )! Seriously though this stuff is pretty fun and there are some pretty cool ppl out there that I would love to be co-residents with. About the pros and cons... so true... the programs I thought were were not as and the ones I thought were not as strong were more strong ! I just hope one of them likes me

As for dinner at first i thought the night b4 for money reasons and staying another night. But the unwind afterwards is the best! That is when the other applicants self destruct!

 

[S Files]

what's the 411 on Kings County???

 

[USCtrojan]

yeah, Kings county hospital vs SUNY Buffalo? anybody?

 

[GatorDMD]

who is going to San Antonio on 12/8? Trying to split some hotel and travel costs.

 

[seablaster]

Anyone else have to reschedule their NDBE to next year as to accomodate interviews? I really would have liked to have taken the last written exam, but I feel interviews are more important.
