Thanks!

I'm curious to why you would want both degrees?

Do you want to serve in a rural area where there are not many doctors nor dentist?

Do you want to do Oral surgery?

Cause that's a lot of time and money spent if it's for sh*ts and giggles

I don't think you know what exactly you're looking for.

I think he might be looking for which dental schools also offer 6-year MD oral surgery residency programs.

I can only imagine that i was too difficult to get into (it required DAT and MCAT to be taken). Most of us throw fits about 1 of those, imagine excelling at both lol

I don't understand people's responses to this question? Almost half of the oral surgery specialty programs offer 6 year programs that give a MD degree in addition to the surgery specialty.

 

[AlbinoPolarBear]

Yeah. Thats for OMS residencies.

I think OP wants to do a medical degree and dental degree right after undergrad.

pretty sure OP thinks there are combined dental school plus residency programs for oral surgery, which there are not.

OP: for all oral surgery programs, you have to first graduate dental school* with a DDS (or the equivalent DMD). then (well, your senior year) you apply separately to oral surgery programs that may be 4 years (oral surgery certificate) or 6 years (MD+oral surgery certificate) in length. the latter are "dual degree" in the sense that you'll have both a DDS/DMD and an MD by the end of it all, but not in the sense that it's one united program with one application for the entire 10 year span from DDS through residency.

*exception: some oral surgery residencies accept MD graduates who haven't yet gone to dental school...Harvard comes to mind.

Yes. This is exactly what I was thinking. So what schools have the 6 year dual degree program? Besides Nova.
