Hey guys,
I was wondering if there are any OMFS residency programs for physicians and get a DDS also (in 6 years)?
Thanks!

This topic needs to become a sticky.

I have heard of a few schools that have offered this route to interested students however Harvard is the only school I know of that has an official program (7 years iirc).

I went to Michigan for dental school. We had a guy who started with my class that had finished his MD already. They sped up dental school to be only 3 years, and then another 3 of residency. During our summers he was in rotations to make up for some of the time through the first three years of dental school.

I remember he had said he interviewed at Penn and Alabama also, all three of which were willing to construct similar programs for him. I think it's not usually official, but programs are interested if applicants are. You probably have to contact them to get the ball rolling....

I second Penn; they make it work as well

Michigan does offer this route, and there usually is 1 resident taking this route, as of late, at any given time.

UF-Jax is open to it, but haven't had anyone do it yet.
