In a rapidly crumbling CA economy where EVERYONE is taking pay-cuts and paying more taxes, this jedi master OMFS pulls an Anakin Skywalker on the west coast and auspiciously heads the strongest program in a notoriously weak region. The rewards however for such a move are apropos:
1. Tenured OMFS professorship at NYU
2. Director of the Bluestone Center for Clinical Research
3. Recipient of an anonymous $3.5 mil 'research grant'
4. Other secret stuff from Dr. Bertolomi that they didn't report
Strong move, Schmidt.
His departure, along with the imminent retirement of Pogi-wan Kenobi(Pogrel) will decimate their former program.
A few points I take away from this:
1. I guess it actually is possible to make some serious $$$ as an academic OMFS
2. I'd bet that most OMFS programs are similarly only 1-2 attendings away from being similarly decimated.
Thoughts from any UCSF students/residents, or others?
