Sorry I don't mean to be picky but it's oral and maxillofacial surgery. This is part of the work we need to do to promote the scope of our field. The AMAs report condescendingly refers to us as "oral surgeons". We need to expand the public knowledge and understanding of our field and we start by referring to ourselves the correct way. I appologize for ranting.

Dreday get a life, its a post on student doctor forum not the AMA. Enough of your "save the specialty crap". We are all oral and maxillofacial surgeons. I just wrote it as oral surgeons to shorten the title for the post. Relax.

There is no need to get aggressive. This isn't the AMA but this forum is open to the public. There is a reason why otolaryngologists make it a big deal to be called head and neck. In any case you woulda been more efficient using omfs in the title.

Everyone relax. Save it for the periodontists.

Stop posting your political crap on my question page. Go somewhere where you can start your own page for people to make a stand in Washington and protest for a change!!!OMFS OMFS OMFS OMFS OMFS not Oral Surgery. Get a life. Get a girlfriend or a wife or a OMFS book. Leave my post alone.

I'm not a OMFS, but he (Dreday) is absolutely right.

I'm not a resident there, but from what I've heard excellent dentoalveolar/implant, good outpatient anesthesia, good orthognathics, ok benign path/no malignant path, little TMJ, ok/little trauma, little cosmetics. This is pure word of mouth so take it for what it is

their trauma has approved over the past 3 years because they became level 1 technically, however with so many hospitals nearby, don't expect the numbers to be equivalent to an average program in the South. If you are dying to do malignant path, you can do some with ENT, as they would be the primary, which has its pros and cons, especially during 4 months of PGY-2 with them. All else is fairly accurate.

I interviewed there, so any information I have is based just on that experience alone. From what I remember, very little trauma because MGH and BU get most of it. No malignant path whatsoever, but I don't remember benign path numbers. Good dentoalveolar and implant numbers due to being part of the dental school. Fair orthognathics, but nothing to write home about. Very private practice based program. While on the interview, one of the current residents at the time said that he was learning a lot by reading rather than doing, which was a little bit of a put off. All in all it seemed like a good program for the person who knows he/she wants to limit their future practice to dentoalveolar/sedations. Personally, I didn't rank the program high because I thought it was a little too country club. However, I know some applicants who ranked it number 1.
