Advice for future OMFS

[gould409]

I'm a first year dental student. Naturally, I haven't had much experience in the dental field. Nonetheless, I still want to specialize and was considering OMFS. I know its super competitive and only superior applicants get into the programs (especially the 6 year MD programs) For those OMFS's out there , what did you guys do the first summer off of Dental school? Research? Intern? Shadow?

Also, I know only of two 6 year MD OMFS programs. UCLA and UCSF. Any other MD 6 year MD programs out there or are the rest all 4 years???


Thanks in advance for any advice.

I did research and drank a ton of beer.

What makes you think the 6-year programs are more competitive than the 4-year programs?
