Dental school after medical school?

[keeping-it-real]

Does anyone know what options are available for someone with MD/DMD degrees?

Also, can you skip a year of dental school by applying with MD credit?

thx.

Well, if you do a year of general surgery residency, then go to dental school (you'd probably get basic sciences waived), you could probably get into a 4 year oral & maxillofacial residency.

I think Baylor has a 6 year DMD + OMFS program for MD/DO's (I think it said it takes DO's, I wonder if any DO has ever gone through it?) specifically. I'd assume it's ridiculously selective.

Are you currently a physician or medical student?

Well, I don't know about skipping a year, but Columbia University College of Dental Medicine grants credit for medical school courses.

See this page for physicians and medical students by the College of Dental Medicine:

http://dental.columbia.edu/education/physicians_meds.htm

Also, many dental schools are willing to award credit for past courses taken in other programs (i.e., graduate, medical, etc.). Contact individual schools.

If you are not a physician or medical student, you may be interested in these opportunities.

The combined program offered by the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and School of Dental Medicine:

Some schools allow you to pursue a double degree by special arrangement:

Because you already have taken many classes that dental students take, you should be able to be waived in some courses. However, that does not mean that you will be automatically placed in the second year without doing completing some dental courses that are required in the first year. Some people think that the first two years in DS and MS are identical and that is simply NOT true. The curriculum are similiar but each tailors to a different field. It is like zebras and stallions. Dental students have to take many dentally related classes that will prepare them once they start seeing patients in the third year. DP
