Sorry if this has been posted already. I did a search and couldn't find it. Seems like a pretty cool program. Are there any others like it?

this program reminds me of those pizza hut commericials in the 90's with deion sanders, where they would give him two options and he'd say "both."

case told us that it was the first of its kind in the nation.

I think you need to have DDS/MD to do oral surgery, right?

Have you been accepted to the program?

What sort of careers could you go into with a DMD/MD? Case is a well respected institution, so i doubt they would make a program that was useless.

What residency would these individuals go into.

When I was at Case it seemed like they were selling it as a "one stop shop" kind of thing, like you would become a dentist-physicians in order to maximize the services you, as a single individual, could provide in a rural community.

yeah, that was my take on it.
i'm coming from public health, so i think of it as a much needed fusion, because oral health is such a marginalized component of health status.
