hey all,
i'm finishing up medical school and recently decided to pursue a career in omfs. i realize this will require dental school first. i'm aware of a handful of omfs programs that accept MD graduates (UAB, baylor) for a a combined dds/omfs pathway.
however, i'm also aware that some schools grant MDs advanced standing in their DDS program. but, I don't know of many and was wondering if others could help with this. can anybody provide insight as to which dental schools would let an MD shave at least a year off of DDS training? thanks in advance everyone.
p.s yes, i've searched this topic quite extensively on SDN... many of the previous threads regarding this are outdated if any of you have experience with fellow OMFS'ers that went down a similar path, i'd be happy to hear your thoughts.
