Does anyone know anything about the OS residency at gainesville. Any current residents help me out? Thanks.

Great hours...very heavy on TMJ Surgery and Orofacial Pain. Shands just became a level 1 trauma center, so trauma is picking up. They also have a strong implant experience.

Cost of living is probably the cheapest of any 6 year program in the country.

Two 6 year spots & one 4 year spot available

5 full time faculty members
Definitely Not Malignant – attendings are about as far from abusive as you can get

Strongest areas: TMJ and Orthognathic (about 115 orthognathic cases per year) the vast majority of which are double jaw – also, a tremendously busy ambulatory GA/IV sedation clinic which runs 5 days a week – having the dental school right next door there’s tons of 3rds and other dentoalveolar with IV sedation (propofol/ketmaine/versed/fentanyl) every day of the week

Shands became a Level I Trauma center in 2005 and the trauma numbers are still increasing steadily - Trauma call is split evenly (no anatomic restrictions) with ENT and Plastics on a weekly basis (every 3rd week) – although by virtue of being in Gainesville it’s not as busy as some place like New Orleans or Dallas

Lots of benign path but very little malignant path – also almost no cosmetics

Cost of living is such that you can definitely afford to buy a house – If you’re married Gainesville is very safe, if you’re single there’s close to 45,000 students running around campus. You get a stipend all 6 years (although it’s reduced the years you’re in med school)

Single Biggest Drawback: you have to do year 2 of med school

Hey thanks guys. Sounds like a pretty solid program...what do you mean by "great hours"? I thought the 2nd year of med school was pretty standard in residency

Yeah...although it's trauma one, i'm sure you get just enough to be satisfied...unlike her in New Orleans, where every 12 yr old has a pea shooter....We could fill our schedule just with trauma for weeks

It is a good program....its very country club....bread-and butter stuff (with the exceptionof implants)...at least when i was there....the drawback is their scope...no wide scope stuff...No cosmetics, no malignant path, little craniofacial, little trauma (Gainesville is a college town with white-collar crimes....not your typical gun 'n knife club)....it's a great program for private practice....

I am an OMFS wannabe and UF student. Neil McCauley told you everything. Glad to see another fan of Heat.
