    GME funding for Perio residencies

    Hey guys. Why is it that some perio residencies get GME funding and some do not? Is it because certain programs have components with affiliated hospitals vs. being dental school based? Does the GME money only come from Medicare or Medicaid or where, or on a state-by-state basis ? Or if a...

    Navy Is matching into a civilian residency difficult after completing a tour as a GMO?

    Background: I am applying for Navy HPSP. I would like to do a military residency in EM but I don't mind spending the 3-4 years as a GMO either. After medical school, let's say I don't match into a military residency. If I serve my HPSP time as a GMO, how difficult will it be to match into a...

    So all I could really find about this was old or incomplete information. So I figured I'd ask here. I have 3 questions. How important are externships for ortho applications? How long do orthodontic externships usually last (1-2 days, or more?). How do you go about setting these up with...

    MD & DO Considering CNRA's came to be in 1956 and so far MD/DO Gas docs are making more and have stable employment, where did the negativity come from?

    I see a lot of depressing threads from 2006/2009/2012 etc. about Gas or Anesthesiology losing jobs and being paid less, but the statistics seem to say otherwise. Its 2019 and: Automation doesn't look like it happening any time soon...

    I'm from the Midwest, I would like to eventually end up working in the same region because of family ties.

    Is there a place where all the available residencies are listed each year with programs details? (e.g. website I assume). Ideally that can be accessed by someone who is not applying this year. I already know about Scutworks, so other resources preferred.
