Residency Question

[checkamundo]

Is there a benefit to the specialty residencies where you need to pay a tuition over those that pay you a stipend? It seems like someone would want to get paid, even if it's not much, instead of paying to complete their specialty training. Do those that pay to complete university residencies receive better training or more exposure to cases and patients?

Do you have to pay for every year in an OMFS residency? Man, paying for residency.....that's b.s.!

You get paid a stipend each year you are on OMFS service. The only time you have to pay is if you do a 6 year program during your med school (2-3 years worth). There are only 2 schools I believe that pay for your med school, Louisville and Mayo clinic. If you do a 4 year program, you get paid all 4 years. Don't worry, people tend to do quite well financially after residency is over
