Something tells me this might be a pretty lonely thread...

“Academic chairs are many, but wise and noble teachers are few; lecture-rooms are numerous and large, but the number of young people who genuinely thirst after truth and justice is small.

So you can tell me whats happening in your Radiology Depatment

I am trying to find some information about this specialty. There are only 6 schools in North America which offer this specialty. I guess for academic job there should be very good chance. But beyond that I am not sure how different options will be available after graduation.

Thats because most institutions and hospitals have "Radiologists" already and the need for Oral Maxillofacial Radiology is not immense unless employed by a dental school.

I'm afraid that 'standard of care' will require me to consult with a OMFR in order to place my implant.

I don't think that you will have to consult with a OMFR, but I do believe that it will become the standard of care to have to purchase an in-office CBCT system (or use a close neighboring dentist's/OMFS's/OMFR's) in order to generate surgical guides. The only thing I don't know is how much this added overhead from the CBCT and the surgical guide will add to the cost that will be passed onto the consumer. It would be impossible for the price of implants not to stay steady or go up due to the increased overhead.

But I guess plenty of people are already using CBCT for their implants and are getting by just fine so it can't be that big of a problem.

The radiology prof at my school once said that practitioners in some states cant buy cone beam cts without some sort of special licensure. Anyone know if thats true?
