How old are most first-year OMFS residents? I would guess about 28. Some of you guys mentioned your kids (Esclavo); did you start a bit later, maybe 30? What would you say the average age of a first-year is?

My guess is the average age of the starting first year class come July 1, 2006 will be about 26-27. I was 29 when I started residency.
 
I was 27 when i started, now i'm 28, i should finish when i'm like 50. My wife is a little older than me but i told her that when she turns 40 i'm trading her in for two 20 year olds. That didnt go over to well.
 
I'll be 31 when I start! 6 years of undergrad.....I tell ya.....sweet days...

27, but turned 28 during my 1st month. My starting age is pretty average for my program.

Ich mag alle jungen Kerle in OMFS. In Perio gibt es keine jungen Kerle, nur Frauen! Wohin sollte ein Mann gehen, um die Liebe zu finden?
WTF! I'm a little scared by how that translated...I hope it was a problem with the software. I'll be looking at foreign periodontists in a new light from now on. Good luck with your man-hunt, Schrotty. If you'd like, you can PM one of my co-residents, TX OMS. He, too, likes to hang out at rest areas.

I think he is just saying he has a healthy respect for the young, strapping, virile men of OMFS like yourself. I think I will try to arrange a meeting between you two to maybe help ease the monotony of studying for the USMLE. :laugh:

I'm 26, handsome (in a Wooly Mammoth sorta way), very endearing, and love to rollerblade. I consider myself a Heath more so than a Jake. I'm just on the lookout for someone who'll make me laugh and feel comfortable to be myself. My pet peeves are pets dressed in human clothes, sweater vests, and Freddie Prinze Jr... Feel like we'll click?? If you do just IM me at iwantablumpkin2wice...

How about you send your wife for a visit instead. It can be just like old times, back before you were married, and well, the day after.

I wasn't too much different. I started dental school when I was 27, graduating dental and entering OMFS at 31, look to finish by 37.

If you're on the right track, you may start OMFS at 32, do a 4-year track, you'll be finished by 36, a year younger than me.

I am 27 now but I feel 40! I guess that means its never too late to start. 😴
 
I'll be 36 by the time I finish OMFS. ~!!!!! 😱

She's not mad cuz you're trading her in for two twenty year olds, she's ticked because you're not appreciating in value....for you she's not going to be able to get an edentulous old red-bone hound dog that just sits on the porch ... no doubt she is the one growing in value in that marriage... of course she had the most value when that relationship started.... 😉
