Practicing OMFS under MD in CA
I am finishing up my 6 year program on the east coast, and planning on moving to California after graduation. However, I took ADEX before the merge, so I would need to retake the ADEX exam to get my dental license in California. On the Dental Board of CA website, it says I could apply for an OMFS Permit with my MD and dental license issued by another state. I am currently licensed in the state I am completing my program in. Does anyone know if there any downsides or limitations to... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Post bacc or dental school?
I got accepted into a formal post bacc program that starts spring 2024 and I need to accept/deny my offer bey Dec. 22. I applied as an academic enhancer because my undergraduate sGPA is a 2.88 and cGPA is a 3.04. I personally don't think my GPA is competitive enough for even a strong DAT score to compensate, but the dentist I shadow has told me he thinks I should just apply to dental school anyways. Now I'm not sure what to do because if I deny my post bacc offer, what if I don't get into... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Why is the PsyD degree so watered down?
As a “professional degree” why are there so many different programs under the PsyD degree? I understand having PsyDs in Clinical, Counseling, or School psychology (although I feel like it’d be best to just have a PsyD in one overarching discipline, similar to how every other professional degree is specific to their overall field, MD in medicine, PharmD in pharmacy, OD in optometry, DDS in dentistry, etc.) as those are the normal, accredited eligible, pathways that lead to licensure and...

AEGD and GPR Openings
I know that many residency directors are on this message board and I think that is great. If there happen to be any openings that arise in any AEGD or GPR programs, then please contact me. I can be a great resident and I hope to get a great education. I am early in the annual cycle with this type of message, so I will keeping "bumping" up this message in February and March of 2024.

Dental Anesthesia vs OMS: Thoughts?
Hey folks, Does anyone have any thoughts on deciding between these two fields? It seems there could be a lot of overlap as there is no reason why an anesthesiologist couldn't also do dentoalveolar surgery (Source: Student Doctor Network)

HPSP - Signing Accession Bonus Papers
I am in the process of applying for HPSP and have a question about signing the accession bonus papers. My problem is that I am aiming to get into the 3 year program at UOP and don't want to sign the papers to extend my payback to 4 years over $20k. I asked my recruiter about this and she said that I can sign the papers then deny the bonus if I end up getting accepted to a 3 year program. Is this true or am I fully committed to a 4 year program if the signed accession bonus paper are sent to... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Orthodontist Jobs
Just matched into ortho- very excited! I was wondering how easy it is to find a job post-residency! Not looking to open my own practice, at least right away. Can anyone also give me insight into how I’d look for a job- do you find one on Indeed or are positions by word of mouth? What does your typical work week look like, is there a base pay? Hoping to practice in NY. Thank you 😁 (Source: Student Doctor Network)
