Would a 3 year long internship at an oral and maxillofacial surgeon's office (note, he did not have an MD degree, only DDS) count as clinical experience in a medical school application?

What did you do?

 

[justbananas]

Was an assistant, TONS of patient interaction

What would that be BESIDES clinical experience? Youre still working with patients.....OMS is stilll medicine.

 

[Isoprop]

Agreed. The distinction between medicine and dentistry is blurred in OMS. Even if the surgeon has a DDM/DDS without the medical degree, I believe it still counts as clinical experience.

Nope. If it was four years, maybe. AACOMAS will automatically delete this experience from your application if you try to include it.
