- As an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS) resident I get tons of question on the specialty and WHY I am in medical school after graduating from dental school. OMFS is an incredible speciality that I am passionate about and so this video is a glimpse into what the residency is and the pathway I took to get there.

OMG!!! Because I am an aspiring OMFS, I have been scoping the internet for 3 months to find a WOMAN who is an OMFS that I could follow and take advise from!!! I just found your channel and I honestly feel blessed!!!SUBSCRIBED!!!😆😍
same!!!!
Hi
Hello
it’s clear that you are so passionate about what you do! it’s so amazing to see!
Thank you Lila!
4 years of undergrad
4 years of dental school
6 years of O.M.F residency
Easy 14 years right there. That's another kid in 7th or 8 the grade
OMG!! This is exactly what I want to be!
I'm currently a 5th year dental student and my dream is to be a surgeon, and sometimes I regret going to dental school bacause I'm more into medicine , but now you gave me some hope 😍
I'm going to take the same program as you in the future, thank you 💙
Rasha Al-Edilbi I thought dental school was 4 years
Kyro King the is probably a student outside of the us. For example i am a student in romania and dental school here is 6 years
ioana cernusca wow long is residency in Romania?
@@kyroking9934 5 years in UK
Becoming an OMFS surgeon in the Netherlands works differently.
If you get your MScMed/M.D. (6 years) first, You can get your MScDent/DDS/DMD in 3 years.
If you get your MScDent/DDS/DMD (6 years) first, You can get your MScMed/M.D. in 4 years.
After getting those 2 degrees, you can specialize in OMFS surgery (4 years).
So in total it takes 13/14 years to become an OMFS surgeon. Getting your M.D. here is mandatory. I recommend going the 14 year route just because during your second degree you can work on the side as a dentist which in my opinion is a lot more fun than a non-specialized doctor.
14 years..😭😭😭..
Wow
Omg. Thanks for information. In India we can do omfs directly after 5 years of a BDS degree. But again its super competitive. Since there are only limited number of seats.
You are awesome in explaining stuff in detail.. can you talk about international dentist wanting to become an OMFS in states. Thanks
Yes pleaase
Great attitude and excellent presentation.. Thank you!!
You are very welcome!
Thank you mam for such a guidance, I'm literally into omfs but don't know how to approach, it's really very helpful. Once again thank you so much
Im 17, and im starting dental school febuary 19th in Australia! I want to become an OMFS! These videos are great and i appreciate the guidance you provide especially as i am just beginning my journey
Jonathan Mapfumo how are you starting dental school if you’re 17? Do you not have to do 4 years of undergrad before going to dental school?
Torismiles that’s in the US only.
Hi Jonathan, i’m also 17 and straying dental school here in australia this year! could you please share with me how you found dental school and applying into OMFS if you were still considering it?🫶🏼
Hey Sally, congratulations🥳 Im in my final year of dental school and now looking at med entry! Ill be doing an honours project next year and studying for my gamsat! Hoping for med in 2026! Im giving myself 3 tries at med and if i cant get into the uni i want (unimelb) ill be going for the DclinDent Oral surgery program in Sydney! What uni are you enrolled in?
I love your videos! Congratulations on everything you have accomplished and everything you will accomplish! I’m currently PreDental Student majoring in Chemistry and I have been searching for videos about Dental specialties! Glad I found your channel! I love your makeup also very beautiful lady!
I'm a first year dental student and u motivate me everyday ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Shanzay! So glad you enjoyed watching
Hey! I am going into undergrad pre-dental, do you have any tips for me?
@@michaelchai2360 I went to dental college directly from high school so I don't know about pre dental undergrad but i wish u best of luck and I hope u do really well ❤️.
That's interesting because in Australia if you did medicine first and want to do OMFS you have to a dental degree (the full four years!) and then apply for training on OMFS.
Damn. MD and DDS? 1) I assume you LOVE school, and 2) you are a rockstar!!!
Why 18 dislikes ? What's not to like here ? Omg .... keep going with this vlogs , they're very good ! Perfect match between your beauty and smartness
Hello Dr. Rola love your videos!! Can you please make one addressing how competitive someone's profile must be to apply to a OMFS residency program (GPA, extracurricular, investigations, NBDE, CBSE)
Hi Dr. Rola! I absolutely love your videos! You have been so helpful and encouraging! Do you think you could make a video about staying motivated and focused throughout your journey from getting into dental school to where you are now?
Love this video!
Would love to see tips for how to be competitive for OMFS residency after dental school!
Am so glad that i found this video i was looking for this explanation about OMFS
الفيديو كتتير مفيد و كتير انبسطت اني شفت الفيديو و عرفتك❤️❤️
I want to be a Oral & Maxillofacial surgeon . My question is if I should do the 4 year degree program or the 6 year OMS/MD ? I really feel I should do the 6 year route as it is just 2 years more and It can help open doors as far as jobs go.
Wow! Such an excellent attitude and voice...sounds like dentistry is a lot of fun🥵Take love..❤
Yay you uploaded!!
I love this video! 😍 Thank you so much
Thanks so much for this! I'm about to start college! So i have a long way to go. Please do more vids
Thank you! You are an inspiration 🙏🙏
This was my original passion but I went into Nursing. Now I regret it but feel too old to switch. If 30 is old lol.
30 is not too old!!! Nor is any age, however if this is your true passion, don’t waste anytime putting it off and go for it now!
i am really interested in omfs but i am dental student in Egypt. so can't u make a video on how can foreign trained dentist specialize in usa in omfs
I hope you are now a licensed OMF. ADA and its Canadian cousin, CDA, introduced dental anesthesiology and oral maxillofacial radiology as new specializations. As an (inspiring) OMF would you use the services of these newly introduced specializations? Do you think these specializations are financially viable?
Thanks so much for sharing this information
Thankyou so much, Im in second year of dental school and already inspired to be an OMFS. Do you think graduate with first honor is necessary? Thankyou so muchh👍
Great video! I was wondering, if for some reason, after finishing your OMFS program and getting your MD, you decided you wanted to be a neurologist instead (for example), could you match in that specialty? or does the MD the OMFS program provides you with only work for OMFS? And also, can you prescribe any kind of medication? Thank you!
Anyone with an MD can prescribe medication. :)
Medical specializations require specific training and licensing. So, an OMF specialist has to undergo additional training to be licensed in a new specialty. There are many medical professionals who are licensed to prescribe medication - nurse practitioners, dentists, optometrist etc.
Only Arab Americans recognize other Arab Americans. I think you're either Lebanese or Syrian. All in all, very well done on your achievements my friend.
Do you get the salary and the benefits of a PGY1 & PGY2 while you're in the medical school aspect of your residency or do you have to pay for the 2-3 years of med school and then be considered a PGY1 afterwards?
This was so helpful and amazing!
Hi doctor:
I had undergone double jaw sugery couple of years ago now some time my left side of nose gets block and some time right right specially when I lie down or sneeze. And also my left cheek protuberates. What could be the reason. If you want I can also send you my xrays.
Thanks for sharing you journey, you are such a motivation to keep going. I was wondering if you had to make an internship prior the residency such as an internship in OMFS or a GPR?
Ok I'm in the position a strange place at the mo. I'm not a doctor but a victim of a dentist who performed a root canal that damaged the inferior alveolar nerve 😭
Love you Dr. Rola!! You're one of my biggest inspos not only in healthcare but life in general :) Do you get your M.D immediately after you finish medical school or after you're completely finished with residency?
Hey Doctor . Can foreign trained dentist do OMFS ?? can you tell us more about it.
Love from India.....great. Video
So once I finish my A levels I go straight to dental school for four years and then specialise?
Hi Dr. Rabah! I have a question. I am accepted to medical school, but I am thinking about OMFS residency. I heard you mention that some outside of the US can still get into omfs residency as an MD. Can I become an oral surgeon as an MD?
A oral surgeon MUST get a dental degree. No way around It.
What else can you add for aesthetics in orthognathic surgery (overbite)? Ex: cheek bones implants, what about my "waddle/duck neck"? ....??
Wait so if you do the 6 year program you have to do your residency and be in medical school at the same time? And for the 4 year program you only do your residency?
Mem my face required a double jaw surgery what I do
I fell very uncomfortable in This situation
Please guide me
Even with the 4 years OMFS program is possible to do fellowships ? And do you think the people who does the 6 years program have more advantages than the dentists that choose the 4 years ?? Iam really confused.
In India you have only 3 years of residence in omfs.
Is there a certain score you need to get for your step exams or it just has to be passing?
I have a severe TMD problems since more than 4 years now and I have seen 9 maxillofacial surgeons here in India Mumbai basically the surgeon told me that my jaw joints are grinding against each other and I need a bilateral joints replacement surgery done but honestly speaking I am really scared of things that I have been told by the surgeons that I visited and that is one surgeon told me that even after this bilateral joints replacement surgery my jaw pain is not going to go away and another surgeon told me that if I get this surgery done might not be able to open my mouth at all as I can open a little bit right now though and yes it is really painful and also really hard for me to eat anything and then yes I happened to meet Dr Gary Warburton as he visited India Mumbai and he said that I needed a bilateral joints replacement surgery but at the same time he said that my bite is decent but my jaw joints are compensating with it and I just don't understand what should I do this kind of a situation as I am in a lot of pain right now. If you don't mind me asking you could you please make a video on TMJ / TMD problems as well it be very helpful for all of us please thank you lots of love from India Mumbai 🥰😘❤️
Does it OMFS overlap with ENT a little bit? :)
Sounds like a lot of fun and it gives me a rush to think about being an OMFS surgeon, could an OMFS surgeon specialize in just trauma?
Yes take up fellowship in craniofacial trauma
hey, could u make a video on jaw surgery. i have an open bite and am told i need surgery, just tryna learn more. Thx !!!
Why is everyone asking for a doctorates degree when you apply for it nowadays. I'm going for oral surgeon
What made you interested in dentistry? It seems like a very specific calling.
Can international students apply for that ??
Interesting question!!!! I want to know..
NYU and UCSF don't accept internationals. UPenn does. You have to check their program requirements.
Thank you for this question
Is that necessary to have MD degree so u can take a fellowship after residency ??
Can you do fellowships after completing 4 year of OMFS residency? Can you do fellowships with on a dental degree?
Is it different from plainly maxilofacial surgery for an ENT?
Currently in the second year undergrad at UofT and this is a dream of mine.
Do you have a choice between 4 vs. 6-year route or are these two different placements with different requirements + competition?
Congratulations on all of your success. Challenging but it must be super exciting knowing you're so close to being a super specialized surgeon.
the 4 year route gives you the omfs and if you want the MD its an additional two years (ms3 and ms4)
@@rukhsarrahmat554 omggggggg!!! I wants that tooooooo
how do you handle the accumulated student loan during 6 years and after 6 years?
💯🔥🔥
How can a current dental student (BDS) from Pakistan pursue OMFS ?
Wanted to know same
Did you take test like paper test in university
I really wish I could get some kind of assistance with my problems I am having.
Awesome 👏
For Indian bds graduate how the scope ?
Is the OMFS residency paid?
Can I go from Dental hygientist to PA and work in a oral surgery?
Is there an advantage to getting the md?
You answered my question here. Thanks

You diminish reputation of maxillofacial surgery, when you call the specialty just “oral surgery”
Hardbroneng
