I have submitted an application to their program in OMFS. As a whole, how do you feel about it? Do the residents get along, call (overnight or not and schedule), lifestyle of Ft lauderdale, and anything you would like to add. I should have PMed but oh well, apologies!!

Kentucky Thomas Jefferson Hospital UF Jacksonville University of Miami W: I don't like you man! You getting all these interviews already? What'sup wit that fool? Share the wealth man! All jokes aside, strong work, strong work. The only ones I'm affected by it on list are UMiami and CWRU. Should I just simply crossed them out of my "hope list" if you guys are already getting interview invites and I have not? One of my classmate and I both applied to UMiami, but neither him or I received anything from UMiami, not even a PASS Acknowledgement Receipt Card stating whether if our applications are complete or not? Also, isn't UMiami PASS deadline on October 3rd and program deadline on October 15th? So doesn't that mean that UMiami haven't invited everyone that they want to invite yet because there are still applications and application materials rolling in until the deadline dates? So, I bet some OMFS residency programs such as UMiami are doing the rolling admissions routine on their interview invitations! What do you guys think? I know I lost my chance at CWRU because their PASS deadline is 8/19 and program deadline is 9/01. So if I haven't received an invite by now, I'm out as I am sure they have invited everyone that they feel the requirements were met. One down, 19 lottery tickets to go! :thumbup: jiggapigga 09-27-2005, 06:42 AM Don't lose hope. SOme programs will send out late interview dates dependant on if ppl from the "first batch" cancel . USCtrojan 09-27-2005, 04:49 PM do these come by phone call/email/mail? OMFSCardsFan 09-27-2005, 05:08 PM Don't lose hope. SOme programs will send out late interview dates dependant on if ppl from the "first batch" cancel . We haven't even reviewed our applications yet...don't start freakin' out yet... mike3kgt 09-27-2005, 05:35 PM We haven't even reviewed our applications yet...don't start freakin' out yet... How much are the residents involved in the application process? Do you guys oversee the entire thing (down to acceptances), interview, or hang out to get a feel of a student? Just curious! -Mike OMFSdoc 09-27-2005, 08:26 PM Depends on the program entirely. Some programs may have residents look through applications (although most don't). Some will have chiefs or seniors in on the interview and will ask the rest who they liked and some won't ask any input. I would think for the most part, program directors and chairmen will select interviewees and will ask resident input when they make their rank lists. Good luck OMFSCardsFan 09-27-2005, 10:05 PM How much are the residents involved in the application process? Do you guys oversee the entire thing (down to acceptances), interview, or hang out to get a feel of a student? Just curious! -Mike As residents, we don't have a lot of say in who gets an interview, but we have a lot to say about rank order. We each make up a list seperately, and then we all tally up our lists. My list, as an intern, will count toward the final rank list just as much as each of our staff. It's a good system because it continues a trend of residents that get along well with each other. We spend the majority of the time with the interviewees, and we have a lot to say in the process. This is, I believe, unique to our program. The fact that a lot of the say comes from the residents was one of many reasons that I chose to rank my program so high. jiggapigga 09-28-2005, 10:26 AM yep they do that here too Battlesign 09-28-2005, 01:47 PM Case Western Reserve University U.

Iowa has not sent out invites, nor given us exact dates for the interview, but all signs point for the interview to be on a Saturday either late October or late November. OMFS hopeful 10-01-2005, 05:19 PM wow you guys got a lot of interviews already. I mostly applied to the northeastern programs and have not gotten anything yet. Do you mind posting a little info about yourself ex board score, GPA, or class rank...whatever you feel comfortable. I just want to see if it's just me or the programs I applied to haven't sent out invites yet. thanks Battlesign 10-02-2005, 11:28 AM The list is on going. I have not been given invites to all of these programs, nor did I apply to all of these programs. I don't think that you need to worry this early. There is still plenty of time.

Good luck[/QUOTE] I've heard good things from Pitt but I haven't heard anything stellar from OMFS who did externships at UCONN. They said there wasn't anything special or that it was mediocre for the most part (I know three people-one finished 2 years ago at Minnesota, one currently at LSU-Shreve, and one at USC). My buddy is chief at BU and it sounds okay but our second year interviewed there and said it was middle of the road compared to others where he'd externed and interviewed. Our chief and second year interviewed at a couple of Programs in NY and they both left during the middle of the interview and both said they'd rather do an intern year and apply again rather than go to NY. Who knows... just some points of view. Bifid Uvula 10-07-2005, 03:54 PM u are better off not ranking a crummy program just for the sake of hopefully matching... Do an internship year at a strong program, and that should help boost u into a better program. bitecys 10-07-2005, 04:54 PM Case Western Reserve University U.

Why can't anyone tell you that before you make your travel plans? Now I'm screwed. You can pretty much plan on the residents asking you to go out the night after your interview. I would always stay the night after the interview for this reason--good face time with the residents. I used Priceline a ton for hotel reservations when I interviewed--stayed in four-star hotels for about $50/night. This didn't work everywhere, but give it a shot. That can just about get you two nights for the cost of one. OMFSCardsFan 10-24-2005, 03:38 PM I also took the AMTRAK from New Orleans to Birmingham and from St. Louis to Kansas City. It was awesome. They had plugs for my laptop and iPod, and the seats were more like the first class plane seats. When cities are around four hours apart (driving time), you can take a train in about the same amount of time that it takes to go to the airport, go through the checkpoints, board, connect, get your luggage, etc. It sure is a lot more relaxing than travelling through an airport. bitecys 10-24-2005, 05:46 PM Univ of Ill Chicago via mail Alabama 11/14 and 11/15, or 12/12 and 12/13 Allegheny General Hospital - 11/05 Baylor 12/12 Boston University: 12/6 Case Western Reserve University: 10/28 & 10/29 and Nov 18-19 Carle Clinic 11/2, 11/15, 11/17 Christiana Care 11/30 and 12/6 Cincinnati 10/29, 11/5 Columbia 11/8, 11/30, 12/10 Drexel University 11/19 Emory, 11/18 and 19, or 11/20 and 11/21 Houston 11/7, 11/21, 12/5 Indiana 11/1 Iowa 10/28-29, 11/11-12 Knoxville 11/14, 11/21 Loma Linda 12/4 Louisville 11/3, 11/15, 11/29 Loyola 11/11 LSU Shrevport 11/14 Mayo 11/7-8 MetroHealth Cleveland Memphis 11/7 or 11/14 Minnesota 11/17 Oregon - 11/7, 11/28 Parkland 12/1, 12/2 Penn 11/8, 11/18 St. Raphael's 11/10 Thomas Jefferson Hospital 11/29 Tufts - 12/7, 12/8 UCLA 11/7 UCSF 11/4 USC 11/30, 12/1 U. of Connecticut 11/14-15 U. of Florida 10/24, 10/31, 12/12 U. of Florida Jacksonville U. of Illinois Chicago 12/9, 12/12, 12/13 U. of Kentucky 10/26 U. of Maryland - 11/18 and 11/19 or 12/2 and 12/3 UMDNJ: 12/14th University of Miami University of Michigan 11/4 or 11/5 University of Nebraska 12/7 University of North Carolina 11/11 University of Pacific Vanderbilt 11/2 tx oms 10-24-2005, 06:52 PM I hate this crap.

I'm sorry that you found my words useless..... (sigh) oh well.... Could anyone tell me about life, positive/negative things with details appreciated? Thanks to anyone who can avoid generalities that would resemble my general question... esclavo 10-29-2005, 12:02 PM All feedback, posivitve/negative, and details are appreciated. Thanks to any assistance!! English is my worst subject and my reading comprehension is right there next to English but do I see the phrase "All feedback (I think Pooh means information not feedback) positive/negative " and "any assistance" written by tigger? Until I can get back to the low-rider and reach through the chain steering wheel to grab my English dictionary on the dash board, I'll have to be confused and wondering what he really wanted.

Hmmm, I may be mistaken, but if one were to read my original post, one might be under the impression that I mentioned a list of programs I was seeking information about specifically, and not inquiring about advice with regards to the interview process, how to make thoughtful decisions in rankings, etc. So, if you'd like to take my words out of context to fit your intentions, continue to waste everyone's time. Furthermore, to resort to hackneyed mother references and extremely clever plays on words :rolleyes: deserves my highest regard for your wit and dedication to bettering yourself linguistically. Now, forgive me for my previous statement which belittled your attempt for assistance, for I am lethargic from the deluge of others' endless well of generalized advice.

OMFSdoc 10-29-2005, 12:51 PM 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!! I didn't apply to most of these programs when I went through the cycle, but I will tell you what I do know: Alabama: Phenomenal program in all respects. The only downfall is living in Alabama (ONLY if you consider that a downfall). Birmingham is supposed to be a nice town, but not if you don't really want to be in the south. Parkland: Speaks for itself as one of the nations best. Michigan: I don't know too much about it. Nice name, but I heard they are kinda malignant. See for yourself. Oregon: Big on cancer, solid program otherwise too. Maryland: Residents were NOT happy there. Pretty malignant program. Do a lot, but not a happy place. LSU-Shreveport: Supposed to be one of the best up and comming programs over the past few years. I believe they do a lot and cut a lot. Louisville: Don't know too much about them, but they do a lot of tibial bone harvesting procedures under sedation. Jacksonville: I have no idea. You are interviewing at SOLID programs. Good luck.

I was unaware that there were actual OMS residents on this thing that could afford the time and mental effort to engage in such prepubescent retorts to an obviously unqualified, needy OMS applicant who has no independence and must always have his hand held :laugh: . Having your petty comments "spoon fed" to me is enough to make anyone sick. "Heaven help" health care when you are cut lose from your program... I love it. Just make me a promise that you won't change and automatically become humble when you walk into your residency. On your interviews ask this question of the attendings interviewing you, "can you tell me anything positive/negative about your program?" When you walk into your first operation, look at your attending and ask, "can you tell me what I need to know to do this case?" Or when your first patient has a hypertensive crisis on the floor, ask your senior resident "can you tell me what I need to know about hypertension?" You've demonstrated well what other applicants should know about the interview. Ask specific questions that demonstrate you've actually had some exposure to OMFS. This is where guys who have done externships and networked with residents on those externships will shine. Instead of a questions like "What kind of stuff do you do here?" Ask questions like "how many orthognathic cases are done here in a year and how many of those does the chief resident get to cut at least half the case?" Instead of asking "Do you pull alot of teeth in your clinic?" Ask questions like what percentage of your clinical procedures are done with a sedation/IV anesthetic. As some of you already know, the tough interviews are when the attending turns to you and says, "Interview me for the next 15-20 minutes". Then your lack of exposure, insight into the specialty will show. Organize what you think is important to you. Do your homework. Don't ask questions that can be easily answered if you would just google the program and read yourself on the internet. It is like those guys in dental school who go in and ask, "what is on the test?" Be the guy that looks at each class and determines what he wants to know. I've always got time and energy to make a point using questions like Tigger's as an object lesson. His question was like a big fat underarm pitch down the center of the plate. It reminds me when I was an intern writing my first set of post op orders and I just flatly looked at my senior and said, "what do I write?" After I got ripped a new hole through which I could eat or poop, I never made that mistake again. 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.

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. GatorDMD 10-31-2005, 12:05 PM Anyone else have opinions ? :idea: :eek: OMFSdoc 10-31-2005, 02:19 PM Anyone else have opinions of Oregon vs UCONN? :idea: :eek: 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. waiting 10-31-2005, 02:19 PM Go to Oregon...that way I won't have to compete w/you for a spot at UConn :p OMFSCardsFan 10-31-2005, 02:32 PM Anyone else have opinions of Oregon vs UCONN? :idea: :eek: Someone is smarter than I thought...=) TiggerJSA 10-31-2005, 03:10 PM Anyone else have opinions of Oregon vs UCONN? :idea: :eek: Actually, I changed my mind...

Bifid Uvula 11-04-2005, 03:07 PM 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. :D :D Bifid Uvula 11-04-2005, 03:10 PM 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 11-04-2005, 05:53 PM San Antonio or Pitt? Doggie 11-04-2005, 08:46 PM San Antonio or Pitt? Dont know about pitt, but my co-residents ranked san antonio pretty high. tx oms 11-06-2005, 10:25 PM 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.

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 11-07-2005, 06:56 PM I would remove those residents' names from your last post.

Just my personal preference :p ... GatorDMD 11-13-2005, 02:59 PM The interview trail thus far has been quite a trip... Yo, Gator and Iowa, don't forget the $30 rule for "The Toolman Taylor" :laugh: You don't really see how different programs are until you go out on the circuit. All got their pros and cons.

Just my personal preference :p ... 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 :thumbup: were not as :thumbup: and the ones I thought were not as strong were more strong ! I just hope one of them likes me :confused: 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! :meanie: S Files 11-14-2005, 01:55 PM what's the 411 on Kings County???

I heard on the interview trail from several people that they try to fill their vacant spots by accepting residents from programs that close or by accepting their non-categorical interns…. I know that they accepted 4 residents from the St. Francis program when it closed. They also tried to get the LSU-NO people to fill all their empty spots. This is the only way they survive their resident shortage. When everything else fails, they accept their own dental students and make a “special 4 year tract” since they need to have 2 chiefs every year. Another thing is that every year they try to get their non-categorical intern to accept a position out of match and ALL of them, with the exception of one, refused to stay and took their chances in Match. I heard their non-categorical intern from 2004-2005 hated the place so much that he left mid year to another program after a position was opened.

UNLV OMS GUNNABE 11-16-2005, 09:39 PM I'm not sure where you're getting all your info but I don't think it's as bad as you're making it sound. I externed there this year.

WestCoast 11-16-2005, 11:07 PM I second that--what's so bad about Pitt? Who's the faculty there? i thought it was a good program when i interviewed there. only thing is the way the program is structured your there 1st yr and u dissapear and basically come back 6th year and operate like crazy. they have ochs as chairman, and costello as program director. very nice people. they are very selective in who they invite for interview so u should take the opportunity to check the program out if u received an interview.

King drew is the worst hospital that i've been to. its a lot worse than usc-lac, and charity in my opinion. located in very rough neighborhood in the south central. traditionally a very trauma heavy program. they just lost their trauma center so i imagine the only trauma they get are walk in mandibles?? their outpatient clinic used to be busy because they used to be walkins, but now everything is by appointment so less cases for extractions. not a very strong program in my opinion. drhobie7 11-17-2005, 01:14 AM It seems every 6-12 months there's a scandal at King Drew that results in threats of permanent closure.

I heard they make you take a test about OMFS knowledge :confused: Seriously i heard it was a "malignant" interview. Should be fun!! :D I interviewed (somewhere else) with a dental student from there. He said the exam is just a "formality" the med school requires because it's the same test the med students take (for some reason). Apparently the OMFS faculty don't even see the results or care. But it does suck to spend a whole day taking a test. oms22 11-17-2005, 06:18 PM I interviewed there last year and they do not make you take a test anymore, but it is still a malignant interview. They do not even ask the usual 'get to know you' questions. Every 20 min interview is a pimp session. Even the resident's pimp you. Overall, the program had some nice aspects to their scope, but I felt that the resident's were unhappy. shariq 11-17-2005, 06:55 PM I interviewed there last year and they do not make you take a test anymore, but it is still a malignant interview.

It's a way for insecure faculty/residents to "establish" the pecking order over lower residents/students. Mostly done in med school, in my experience. But done correctly, it can be a useful teaching tool. But not many people do it correctly. Example: Faculty: "Toofache, who was the first surgeon to perform a complete gastric resection?" Toofache: "Umm...what does this have to do with teeth?" Faculty: "That kind of attitude and response won't get you a good evaluation on this med school rotation." Toofache: "Umm....I've kind of already matched and stuff." drhobie7 11-17-2005, 08:34 PM Faculty: "Toofache, who was the first surgeon to perform a complete gastric resection?" Ivana Tugalott rrc 11-18-2005, 06:47 AM Faculty: "Toofache, who was the first surgeon to perform a complete gastric resection?" Toofache: "Umm...what does this have to do with teeth?" Faculty: "That kind of attitude and response won't get you a good evaluation on this med school rotation." Toofache: "Umm....I've kind of already matched and stuff." That's classic. Mine was: Faculty: "You can do the optional paper to achieve an honor's in the rotation." Me:"A pass is just fine by me." Faculty:"hrm" slapa 11-18-2005, 08:27 AM What do you think about Tufts OMFS?

If you were a 1 year intern and a program offered you a categorical spot in their program you'd go too. OMFster is right, I believe one of the chiefs is a St. Francis guy since the original guy transferred to my program. They filled one of their spots with the four year guy they accepted from their own school (the one you’re probably talking about), right now one of their 3rd year spots is empty and one of their 2nd or 1st year spots is also empty. I’m not sure which one. Just ask them about it when you go there or go to the aaoms website and look under open positions. I know for a fact that during the last two years they lost five residents, which would concern me. I’m not trying to put it down, just giving out the facts I’m aware of. I know that I would appreciate knowing the pros and cons if I was applying right now. Basically, don’t believe everything that you hear, do your research before choosing a program. ddssurg2b 11-18-2005, 06:09 PM It sounds like you have an ax to grind. Your facts are not accurate and you are clearly trying to put that program down. It's obvious you don't know the real deal there, so I wouldn't clog things up with additional rhetorhic. I agree w/ UNLV ; he's got the experience of being there and it certainly hasn't been my experience that the residents are unhappy there. It's a great group of people and an excellent program. And yes....everyone should do their research. OMFster is right, I believe one of the chiefs is a St. Francis guy since the original guy transferred to my program. They filled one of their spots with the four year guy they accepted from their own school (the one you’re probably talking about), right now one of their 3rd year spots is empty and one of their 2nd or 1st year spots is also empty.

MAXFAC 11-18-2005, 08:25 PM My pimp session was kinda interesting. I had an attending during my surgery clerkship who gives you a marking pen and tells you to write what you know about the procedure, anatomy, pathophysiology , and with drawings and after your done he will start pimping you on what you wrote and drew.
