This seems weird to me. How does this technically qualify as a fellowship? Shouldn't it be an internship? Please educate me.

They call it a fellowship, but by normal nomeclature an internship may be a more appropriate name. Prosthodontists call their training a residency but it's not.

Why is prosthodontics training not a residency?

Seems a bit misleading. In the medical world, a fellow has higher standing than a resident and intern. I don't like it, but they didn't ask my opinion. I don't think you should be able to just declare your program whatever you want. Wonder if the ADA knows about this. Might send them an email with the link.

That being said, I'm happy to announce that along with my OMS residency, I will also be completing a fellowship in "High-Velocity Trauma for Trolls".

This was explained to me my first day at loma linda, but basically a resident has to be employed by a hospital.

I don't think this program grants you any sort of priviledges other than the ability to apply for a sedation license. It's closest to a DA residency, except it's one third of the training. And as that recent law suit taught us, the ADA doesnt control what anyone calls themselves.
