Indiana OMFS

MACbar · Sep 11, 2006

Can someone from Indiana OMFS or people who have interviewed there tell me about the program. I have seen the website and it looks like a well rounded program (2 level I trauma centers, craniofacial team, path/recon., orthognathics, etc.)

Do the residents operate a lot? How are the attendings? Do they do too much of certain things and not enough of others? Average number of in house patients?

Any info is appreciated.

Thanks

Relatively recently one of their residents transferred to Houston, my impression was because he thought the training was inadequate, but I could be wrong. They had faculty problems in the past.

I knew a guy who quit in his first year over there... family issues though.

I've heard good things about Indiana OMFS. They have an attending from Parkland who does some pretty big surgeries They have a well balanced program. You get to do a lot of cutting and they have 2 clinics that keep you really busy. They also cover 4 hospitals (2 of which are level I) and the resisdents are running the clinics. I did a 2 wk externship and I did a lot of cool things.

By the way, Is it true that at Carle Clinic all you do is watch your attendings operate and spend enormous amounts of time on SDN.

I think that would be if you were an extern... you're welcome to come any time. Don't take my word for it. Just get here and we'll put you up and feed you and you can see if we just sit around shucking teeth and drain odontogenic abscesses under local anesthetic or if you will see the full scope here. My chief from when I was a first year is a part time attending at Indiana. I only know what he has told me. I didn't bad mouth Indiana, but I will say they don't have the scope we do and they play 3rd fiddle to plastics and ENT. Good bread and butter program though. They have lost residents for various reasons (not all the programs fault)... if you want to PM me and sling a little mud, I can give you objective evidence and you can talk with people who aren't trying to sell you the program and then if you still insist, you can piss into the hurricaine all you want and claim that you're not getting wet. And yes, I do spend some time on SDN... how else are green horns like you going to get put in your proper place?

There were things I liked about Indiana: Strong didactics, strong pathology component...and I really liked the personalities of Treasure and Bennett. Things I didn't like were the fact that with recent faculty turnover, I was moderately concerned about faculty:resident ratio as well as having to live in Indianapolis. I'm not exactly a big city kind of guy.

Summerlin & Tomich are absolutely off the hook when it comes to pathology. If you don't wet your pants a little at the mere prospect of giving a presentation with them in the room, it's only because you don't realize what you're getting into.

Please note that according to one of the moderators, there is to be no discussion of the size of one's genitals on the SD network... Else you face censure... I learned this the hard (pun intended) way...

PS. Mi cojones es grande...

The proper way to pronounce the word is "Ko-Jones"....therefore, no censure necessary.

Esclavo,

All I caught out of that was testicular torsion... No habla good espanol, I am afraid... Donde esta las senoritas/la cerveza, and 'Tenemos que evacuar el recto' are about all I know... Don't ask about the second one...

🙂 🙂 one is a requirement and two is a luxury is suppose. I did know a guy who had testicular torsion as a baby and lost a nut... he ended up having 8 kids and a very attractive wife so I stand by my statement. We teased him and called him the "one-nut-wonder"....
