I just went to Western U for interview and they say they give you DMD title instead of DDS...

What's the difference ? Do ppl value DMD more than DDS? and Which other schools give you DMD ?

I'm currently in for UCSF but if DMD is better, then should I go to Western instead?

Please tell me you are joking with that statement........really I am in shock right now.

come on , theres no way you can convince me that one is of more value than the other...look at the fact dds/dmd - both become dentists , both 4 years schools, both HIGHLY competitive to get accepted to as some of us know

Go to Western... Leave the UCSF spot for someone who knows that there's no difference between a DDS and a DMD..

DDS/DMD is the exact same thing! Don't give up a great school/program/education (whatever you call it) for a DMD title because it sounds like a MD degree. It is not worthy of your time to even think about this. Besides, I read an article (way back) regarding the state of California addresses all CA licensed dentist as DDS not DMD.

Regardless, again, DDS = DMD. A lot of people really wants UCSF; people would be happy to switch places with you! Don't be foolish (no offense)!

Don't give UCSF a bad name.... know something about your future profession.

maybe the OP should just go do a MD. it's only 2 letters so he/she won't get confused so easily



i can't believe that someone who interviewed at 2 schools doesn't know the difference....did you even research the field before you applied?

While they are equivalent in terms of practicing dentistry, the curriculum of schools that confer the DMD degree (Doctor of Dental Medicine) tend to have more traditional medical school courses and PBL in comparison to DDS programs.

 

[Andrew324]

They are just a noob wanting you people to fight it out.

Why would anyone go to a Western Interview if they already got into UCSF 🙂

I have a website that gives some of the story about the DMD/DDS thing: http://www.dmdstudent.com/2006/10/24/9/

It was Harvard that changed things. When they wanted to award a dental degree they had to use latin (b/c their snotty like that j/k) so they made “Dentariae Medicinae Doctor” which is DMD. So DDS is an older degree (pre-Harvard) Other then what is on the website that I plugged I have no clue.

Dude...that's not cool. He is going to be known for the next four years as the guy that got into UCSF (a very hard school to get into) who posted the embarrassing question on SDN.
