Pretty straightforward topic. I heard OMFS residency is hell and a half. Do OMFS get any vacation during residency?

Members don't see this ad.
 
yeah, at ucsf, the residents get two weeks per year

Most residencies give you 3-4 weeks per year of vacation time. Almost all hospital based residencies adhere to some foramt of work hour restrictions for residents in training. So OMFS is not as bad as it used to be. Whether a 36 hour continous shift is "hell and half" or "really inspiring" depends on your attitude to those kind of hours.
The problem with every other day call, is that you are missing half the action!
:rolleyes:
 
Make sure you ask all the program directors about vacation time when you extern/interview...they will love that.
