Assuming that the patient's family didn't pay for it, then it would probably be some sort of charity. Either church sponsored or government sponsored.
Shadowed an oral surgeon, and the office manager showed me the billing of this cleft palate patient. The state set up a fund to pay for the surgeries, implants, prosthetics and braces for children with cleft lip/palate.
Well, you are in the right place to gun for OMFS.
If you stayed in Canada, OMFS is harder than winning the lottery.
Have a friend that goes to Toronto that was gunning for OMFS, then realized 1 test in that she wasn't as great as she thought she was.
Only 6 OMFS spots in all of Canada each year.
Yeah, it's tough up there. But, I live in Fort Lauderdale now, where the average age is 75, so I'd probably be better off going into prosths, if I specialize in anything haha.
Most oral surgeons I've seen here in Toronto did their undergrad in Canada but went to the States for their specialties. There's just too few spots and too much competition up here. 🙁 It's the same reason why nowadays you get so many Canadians coming south even for their MD/DDS/DMD/J.D./Ph.D., whatever.
A dental school in the Caribbean would solve all these problems. Haha.
