VCU OMFS baby! We do 100% of the cutting in the OR (orthognathic, infection, trauma, pathology), slam a bunch of implants, take out a bunch of 3rds! Highly recommend you guys extern here. Great scope especially if you want to be a private practice OMFS who practices full scope. We don't do head and neck cancer here so look somewhere else if you want to get exposure to that. One of the best OMFS implant programs; we take intraoral scans of our patients and combine it with a CBCT to design surgical guides. We then 3D print our own surgical guides and use that to do fully guided all-on-6 implant cases as well as simple single unit implant cases. We have dynamic navigation for implants which tells you in real time where your handpiece is relative to the mandible/maxilla. All of the residents have fun and we have a pretty good culture among the residents and attendings here.
Title says it all 🙂
Does VCU require one to extern at the program to get an interview or can students get interviews there without externing?VCU OMFS baby!

Lol...I've heard residents at Cornell and BU are very happy. The happiest residents.
Isn’t it better to learn to place implants without using all these expensive toys? It’s also more time consuming to go through all these steps. Many specialists in the past didn’t have these in their training and they still do great work. I know many specialists who place good implants without using implant guides and all these expensive toys. They must do good jobs because they keep getting the referrals from the GPs. It saves both the patient and the doctor time and money. The referral GPs don't care what you have in your office.VCU OMFS baby!

Sarcasm? I'm not terribly familiar with BU but I heard the program is very high strung? Is that true?I've heard residents at Cornell and BU are very happy. The happiest residents.
Best program in the country: LSU Shreveport.
Give me a reason to think otherwise.
And no I’m not a resident there.

Do the interns get to take out teeth in Shreveport?
Because it's in Shreveport, LA. Many applicants can't convince themselves or their significant others to live there for 6 years. Besides location, I agree.

What program are you at? How do you like it?
