Is it extremely difficult to get these without coming from an MD program like most people say? Referring more to like one of the orthognathic fellowships as opposed to a big cancer or cleft one.

Most fellowships are not very competitive, because most people just want to start practicing right out of OMFS residency and start doing T&T. Most of the fellowships cover the aspects of OMFS that don't pay very well. You need to start your life at some point.

What do you mean "sTaRt yOuR lYfe" I thought everyone wanted to do a 6-year program and then flex their academic prestige by matching into derm or full body plastics
