Can an OMFS that went the extra 2 years to earn the MD degree ever practice family medicine or would this take an extra fellowship or residency?

I think a decision such as that would render someone legally incompetent...not a bad idea, though, if you're ever convicted of a crime...

If one wants to practice family practice, a residency would be required!

Better question, why in the world would you want to practice family medicine after being trained as an oral surgeon? It would be like trading in Ferrari for a Cavalier. mtheman 02-13-2006, 10:21 PM Better question, why in the world would you want to practice family medicine after being trained as an oral surgeon?

Herpes is no laughing matter, my friend... I don't know herpes is pretty funny, just look at omsres :laugh: blotterspotter 02-14-2006, 08:49 PM hah.. i agree that going to med school would be easier. Being a GP is all I dream about for now, but I was just wondering how it would work. I'm assuming the MD would allow the surgeon to prescribe anything he/she wants (within reason), while a dentist wouldn't be able to do that right? DrJeff 02-14-2006, 09:20 PM If you wanted to do that, you'd have to transfer out of your OMFS program AFTER the MD years and then get accepted into a family medicine residency to complete your training. I have a friend that started out OMFS/MD, did his intern year, then the 2 years of med school, during which time he decided that we wanted to be an anesthesiologist insted of an OMFS, applied for an and was accepted for an anesthesia residency, got out of his OMFS residency, and is now a DMD/MD anesthesiologist practicing in the Miami area. toofache32 02-14-2006, 11:17 PM Or like Carmen Electra for Toofache32's wife Aw heyall naw you di'int! http://img116.imageshack.us/img116/9307/bigperm7nb.jpg (http://imageshack.us) I get no respect.
