It's DMD, doctor of medical dentistry...
Ah, I misread the name.

Why are these residencies so different to your mind?
Mine is a hospital based general anesthesia program attended by a mix of MD and DMD anesthesiologists, primarily MD, where we do cases involving general surgery, neuro, cardiothoracic, vascular, OBGYN, podiatry, and orthopedics on top of OMFS and general dental cases. We work very closely with the surgery residencies. Our accrediting agency has similar requirements to ACGME in many instances.
Either way, summarily shutting down a residency in the middle with little to no warning is a really ****ty move.
Is it an acgme residency? There are protocols that have to be met for a program to be closed by the acgme. However a hospital can always close a program on their end... say decides that it's too expensive or not an area they want to be in, etc.Why are these residencies so different to your mind?

Dude, having been a pt at one time, these dental residencies are legit.Because you're a dentist doing a dental "residency". It may vaguely resemble a real residency but isn't the same thing at all.

I saw it first hand.How does being a patient allow you to determine if a dental residency is legit?
