currently on deferral year and starting med school next year.
I have had a set of experiences that have exposed me to OMFS both as a patient and working in the ER as a tech. I read that UAB has a route for those coming from medicine. Don’t care about time, effort, opportunity loss, I have only 15-20 years to give to my career anyways as a non-trad.
I’d like the ability to have my own pp, still go in hospital as a call doc, and for me it isn’t about the specialty but the individual training. I’m also not keen in doing plastics or ent, as I am more interested in the dental aspect than I would be learning about removing thyroids or surgery on areas not face / oral .
Some factors if this is a feasible route for me to go for as an M1, can anyone share info if …
1) you get in-state tuition during the dental school portion?
2) can you moonlight during dental school with your medical license since you completed intern year
3) do you get stipend all 7 years?
Thank you. Wish I learned about this surgical speciality sooner…
