OMFS PGY1 transferring

[notgivingupp]

Hi everyone, I’m currently a PGY-1 resident and actively looking to transfer. If you know of any available openings, I would greatly appreciate it if you could let me know.
Thank you!

We need a transfer portal like college hoops

"A 4-star recruit coming out of dental school, he really fell flat his intern year. Heavy call nights exposed holes in his work ethic and attention to detail. He feasted off of straightforward thirds, but really struggled with distoangulars and patients over 25 or who were obese. Grave concerns exist about his ability to develop skills to make a run into chief year with larger OR cases come tournament time. May not garner a lot of interest form the big conference programs"

I think this outlines a bigger problem in residency, other than a residents' lackluster work ethic. With the decrease in applications and (seemingly) increase in transfers, I think the old school mentality of 'tough it out' unfortunately won't continue to work for future generations. Say what you will, but either programs need to change how they treat residents and create a healthy work environment with a balanced scope.....or (worst case scenario) new gen dental students rapidly lose interest in OS and we continue to match subpar residents who can't handle the 'heat'.

It's a viscous cycle
