Possible: technically yes. Chances of it happening: next to impossible. You would be setting yourself up for a big disappointment.
This is probably one of the most competitive specialties for US grads, not even to mention foreign grads.
You at the very minimum would need to already be a certified OMFS in your own country, have %95+ on both your board parts, several publications in internationally recognized journals, at least 2 years of research and good connections.
All this MAY get you some attention and maybe even an interview. Otherwise, chances are pretty slim.
If I were you, I would seriously reconsider my plan. But don't take my word for it. Call up the programs and ask them.

I think it's even less likely than Nile suggests. If you check the PASS application website, I can't think of a single program that doesn't stipulate residents must possess an accredited DDS/DMD.
thanks alot for ur replies,doing DDS was my dream,but i had to drop it coz i wanna do my specialisation in omfs coz i love it,and what i heard is doing omfs specialisation in the united states is tough,and i dont wanna be a GP.what do u think is the scope for omfs?i am currently preparing for my post graduate entrance.what are u guys up to?
