Did Program Directors get an updated conversion chart for the Equated Percent Correct scores back to the old two digit? Or is it the same chart that got ‘leaked’ last year?
 
What’s the latest notice schools will give for an interview. If not from initial batch. Less than a week?
 
Anyone know if Rochester Regional health is a new program? I can’t find much online on this. Any info on the program is appreciated

Yeah it's new this year. They didn't open their application until early November
 
Overview for the Rutgers OMFS program (2023 Update)

The program provides a well-rounded full scope experience that is shaped by the individual resident's desires and interests. Residents are held at high standards and expected to lead clinical decisions as well as perform with clinical efficiency and skill as early as PGY-1. Interested applicants are encouraged to participate in an externship. You can also find additional information regarding the Rutgers OMFS residency program on Instagram page and website.



The Program has a 4-year track and a 6-year integrated MD track with New Jersey Medical School in addition to having 4 non-categorical interns.

Scope:
  • We are full scope OMFS. OR cases include dentoalveolar, orthognathics, surgical cosmetics (one of the very few programs that perform surgical cosmetics in the country), hard and soft tissue reconstruction, any and all maxillofacial trauma, TMJ, and ablative head and neck cancer and pathology (in conjunction with ENT team that harvests, anastomoses, and manages postoperative monitoring of free flaps)
  • Craniofacial cases include primary cleft lip and palate repairs (one of a minority of programs that do this), alveolar cleft bone grafts
  • Lingual nerve and Inferior Alveolar Nerve exploration and repairs (Dr. Ziccardi is one of the busiest surgeons in the country in regards to these procedures)
  • Dentoalveolar (high volume of cases from University Hospital Clinic, Dental School Clinic, and Faculty Practice)
  • Orthognathic Surgery
  • TMJ surgery including arthroscopy, arthroplasty and total joint replacements
  • Maxillofacial trauma (high volume due to University Hospital being a busy level 1 trauma center)
  • Maxillofacial reconstruction (i.e. soft tissue local flaps, large bone grafts with autogenous harvest, alveolar distraction osteogenesis, vestibuloplasty, fibula debulking for dental implants, trigeminal nerve microsurgery, etc.)
  • Benign Pathology
  • All ablative aspects of pre-malignant and malignant head and neck cancer including tracheostomy, neck dissection, full oral cavity cancer and salivary gland ablative procedures with Dr. Shanti
  • Non-surgical and Surgical Cosmetics (*Based on resident interest* one of the busiest programs in the country in regards to this - ability to perform surgical cosmetic procedures in dental school and in OR, along with full range of non-surgical procedures offered such as botox/filler/PRP injections/dermabrasion/chemical peels)
  • Dental Implants and associated procedures: OMFS residents combined place 600+ implants a year. It is very common to graduate with 300+ implants placed, full scope of procedures performed (GBR, autogenous block grafting, free gingival grafts, connective tissue grafting, all on X procedures with zygomatic and pterygoid implants, immediate loading of prostheses, sinus augmentation). Dental Students and prosthodontic residents work up many cases for surgical management
  • Sedations: Performed 3 days a week at University Hospital & 5 days a week at Dental School. Most graduates have between 400-500 anesthesia cases by graduation
Location:

· University Hospital is our main campus in Newark, NJ. University Hospital is a busy level one trauma center offering a large pool of trauma patients consisting of assaults, GSWs, MVC, and work-related injuries.
· Most of the residents live in the surrounding lively upcoming neighborhoods including Hoboken, Jersey City, Weehawken, Edgewater, suburban towns and even New York City.


· Car required
OR:
  • We have reserved guaranteed block time 4 days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday), along with 1 Wednesday a month. We mostly operate 5 days/week (or more if needed) with added-on traumas or elective cases.
  • We predominantly operate at University Hospital, but elective cases are also done on a 1-2 times/week in Newark Beth Israel in Newark (~15 minutes from University Hospital) and St. Peters Hospital in New Brunswick, NJ (~35 minutes from university hospital). Chiefs and/or seniors also attend additional orthognathic cases at John F Kennedy hospital in Edison (~20 minutes from Newark) with Dr. Aziz weekly
  • All this block time means that we have the case load to fill it consistently. The program far exceeds the CODA program requirements in all categories.
  • Takeaway: A lot of OR time (practically daily), diversity in cases

Clinic:
· Multiple with large volume and wide scope
1. University Hospital clinic:
a. Daily, average of 50 patients/day
b. Average of 3 residents see and treat all patients, with attending supervision

f. Extra OMFS chairs and IV sedations rooms can be used by residents not assigned to the dental school for elective cases. Examples cases include:
i. Multi-unit implants, All-on-4s, zygomatics implants, pterygoid implants, blepharoplasty, face lifts, lip lifts, chemical peels , various bone graft (split thickness, ramus block graft, etc)
g. Technology: Multiple implant systems available, 3D printing for in house guide making
3. Faculty practice in Newark
a. Dr. Ziccardi and Dr. Shanti
b. 2-3 times/week, half days
c. Attending clinic staffed by 2-3 residents
4. Faculty Practice in New Brunswick
a. Dr. Adachie: 4 times/week, staffed by 1 PGY-1
b. Dr. Shanti: 1 times/week, staffed by Chief Resident

Does anyone know if Christiana has a non-cat? It comes up on the PASS search but I don’t see any info on their website regarding an internship.
 
The wait is killing me. Happy Holidays everyone

Hey everyone, I'm a resident representative from Geisinger OMFS and wanted to let everyone know that I'm available to answer any questions about our program. Additionally, we are currently taking applications for externships/observerships and have 4 available non-categorical internships for the upcoming year. Please see our post on the OMFS internships forum for additional information or reach out.

Good luck with the upcoming Match + any other remaining interviews, and congratulations getting to where you are now!

Good luck to all tomorrow. Here’s your passed down right of passage bedtime story. Godspeed


“Twas the night before match day and all through the house
Not an applicant was sleeping, not even their spouse.
All the rank lists were numbered, submitted with care,
in the hopes that school "number one" soon would be theirs.

Hopefuls everywhere nestled snug in their beds,
while visions of third molars danced in their heads.
And me in my scrubs, i turned off the light,
and settled myself in for the world's longest night.

When from my iPhone there came such a clatter,
i sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the charger I ran in a dash; the screen came alive in a brilliant white flash.

The box on the screen blinked to notify me
It had just received an email that I needed to see.
And what to my wondering eyes should appear
but a subject line saying omfs match finally here!

In a rush of adrenaline, my patience was gone.
I'm done with this waiting, let the match bring it on!
As true as sdn my confidence came, and I whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

Now Parkland! Now, Vanderbilt! Now, San Antonio or UNC!
On, Baylor! On, UPenn! On, Florida or Kentucky!
To my life's next six years! Now don't make me wait!
Now bring it on! Tell me! Show me my fate!

As if in slow motion, the email opened up.
My eyes scanned the page, my fingers crossed for luck.
In confusion I searched, come on, what's the catch?
And then, in awful clarity, the words, "you did not match".

My body went limp, eyes rolled back in my head.
My life flashed before my eyes. I fell back on the bed.
My throat was closing in! My lungs found no air!
My hands clawed my throat, and ripped out my hair!

This just couldn't be right! Was my mind playing tricks?
Could I really go on? Add another year to six?!
What had I done wrong? What qualities did I lack?
I must run far away and never come back!

"No, no!" moaned my voice in an unearthly tone.
I was ruined, defeated... The match had won!
I writhed in my misery, sweat soaking my scrubs.
I pled for some assistance, some help from above!

I opened my eyes to a glimmer of light, the clock on my nightstand showing midnight.
I bolted up straight, and off the bed I fell.
Somehow I had slept-and dreamed myself into hell!

I gasped for a breath, I reached for my phone.
No new messages! The email from hades was gone!
I laugh in hysterics, I feel I could dance! My fate yet undecided! I have another chance!

The night is still young. Several hours remain,
enough for at least 10 more nightmares of the same.
My pulse starts to slow, my head is finally clear.
There's still 6 dreaded hours until match day is here!”

Good luck everyone. If unfortunately you don't match and are interested in an internship then see below:
---

Lincoln Hospital is looking to fill a 1-year OMFS internship position with program start date of July 1st, although orientation may be a week or two sooner. This is an excellent opportunity to prepare candidates if they are applying or re-applying to OMFS residency next cycle or for candidates who wish to experience the full scope of the specialty and expand their knowledge. The interns will function as a PGY-1 OMFS resident, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. Lincoln Hospital is a level I trauma center and residents will be exposed to the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery i.e trauma, orthognathics, temporomandibular joint surgery, reconstructive and implant surgery, along with sedation and general anesthetic procedures.


Interested candidates should email CV and PASS application (if available) to [email protected]
 
Good luck to all applicants! If the match does not work out in your favor, please consider joining our team in Galveston, Texas!

UTMB OMFS has been approved for 2 non-categorical positions for the 2024-2025 academic year. We would like to extend an invitation to applicants seeking to strengthen their application for OMFS residency. We are a small, yet busy program with a low resident to faculty ratio that demands time in the OR even as a non-categorical intern. Duties involve taking primary call, covering faculty clinics, assisting in the OR, and daily administrative tasks. Will operate and function at a PGY-1 level resident. Please contact our Chair (Dr. Marwan [email protected]) and Program Director (Dr. Garcia [email protected]) to apply/interview for the position.

The following documentation is required for consideration:

  • Graduate of an ADA accredited dental school
  • CBSE score
  • Copy of dental school transcript
  • Current CV
Thank you, and good luck!

I have a quick question, if you used different name throughout the interview trail than the name that you uploaded on the match app, does that affect your match?
 
Quick question:
Is it truly uncommon to secure a post-match position for an OMFS resident, only internship opportunities available?
 
Can someone please post what spots are unmatched? Thank you in advance!
 
Quick question:

It happens but it is difficult…there are usually only a few spots (most years 1-3 spots) that go unfilled. There are a lot of folks scrambling vying for those spots.
