..with the medical school courses?

I know UConn's dental program does this. The first two years of dental school is literally medical school.

If I'm not mistaken Harvard's dental school also make their dental studens study and sit in the same lectures as the medical students. SUNY Stony Brook's dental school does this, but sh_t, I wouldn't want to go to that depressing looking campus.

What are the pros and cons of this "combined" dental/medical curriculum?

Columbia does as well.

i'd be suprised if anyone actually enrolled in it. it seems pointless & you gotta jump through a lot of hoops just to get into it (i.e. mcat).

if you want an MD, take the mcat and goto med school.

if you want the DMD, take the dat and goto dental school.

why both??

i think it'd be pretty cool to do. especially for someone who might not be interested in having a family life, cause this would take a lot to complete and practice. there's a lot of pre-meds who have taken the mcat but now want to do dentistry, i think this would work for them. BUT, I think that this is for someone who has an integrative approach to healthcare because that is what it builds on.

all in all, very cool program.

University Of Minnesota does this as well.

I think it is a great program. However, do you have to do residency?

2 year min of postdoc education required in all states for medical licensure. You would have to do a residency.

As far as I know just having an M.D. doesn't get you anything...it's your residency that allows you to actually practice in your area after passing your boards. Any pre-meds or med students know?

yea that's right, you have to do a residency that's usually 3 years long but can be 1-8ish years long, depending on your specialty.

that is a part of licensure and it is unavoidable.
