Does anyone know what the average attending pay is? I’m Considering doing part time at a dental school or residency program.
 
If you're looking at a public school individual salaries are available online to see. Usually not that much if you're part time.

Varies significantly based on a number of factors one of them being the specialty, full time vs part-time, your actual position (professor vs associate vs assistant), etc. But in the OMFS world, with some outliers here and there, between 400k to 600k is the typical range.

Also adding that it depends on school and location. When I was full time, I knew of other schools that paid specialists less than me as a GP at my school. Part-time attendings barely get anything generally across the board I believe.
 
Some faculty members have higher salary if they can bring big NIH grants. They can do this because NIH pays large portion of faculty salary.

One interesting thing about OMS is it seems like most of the staff surgeons "work" or actively practice. I have noticed that the other specialties, and staff general dentists, tend to not see their own patients and just supervise. Why is this?
 
Attending at school for GP is slow.
UCLA is 220-230k for associate professor.
UNLV is 140-175k, with possible faculty clinic profit sharing... Laughable amount
VAMC is 208-220K for attending
VAMC OMFS is 275k to 325K (Depending on location). San Francisco is 380K....and all the OMFS work at a group private practice for extra money Teach at UCSF as well..
