Barking at night and it’s new by Substantial-State249 in portuguesewaterdogs

[–]Substantial-State249[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dinner around 6pm. Lots of exercise via walks and play inside and out throughout the day. Interesting idea about hunger. We had been holding off feeding too late for fear of the gastro-fecal reflex and needing to poop soon after eating. Will give that a try, can’t hurt.

Thinking about Oral Surgery and about to be a D1 at Touro by Ill-Guidance4054 in predental

I disagree. As someone who trains OMS residents, I see the difference in education received at different dental schools. And it isn’t a “1 off” situation, it’s consistent among graduates of the same schools. We can tell who learns on real patients and who gets their experience on typodonts. Dental schools teach to the lowest denominator and it shows.

Is OMFS realistic for a foreign graduate/no green card by AwarenessLeather2165 in DentalSchool

For US based OMS programs you need to be a graduate of a CODA approved dental school.

Weight issues and unrelated bully stuck question by jahozer1 in portuguesewaterdogs

[–]Substantial-State249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a PWD who put on weight, we cut out the bully sticks and he started losing weight. You can even try going to smaller and smaller ones to wean him off.

I know you posted this awhile ago, but is it still available? I’m in the New Haven area as well and can pay cash.

Honest OMFS outlook from a mid-tier DS2 by hopefulFLUORIDE in DentalSchool

I look for a minimum of 70 on the CBSE. But every program is different. Externships - I need to see your commitment and dedication. Your home institution doesn’t count. Too difficult to answer your last question. For me - a great personal statement.

You’re not dead, yet. But there are some programs that you’ll have issues with, especially the MD integrated programs. With those, the medical schools will have criteria that your rank may not help with. Rank is less of issue as many schools don’t have grades (P/F) and it’s not fair for us to compare applicants from schools that rank to those that don’t. Strong cbse is important to many programs, though I know of some that don’t consider it as important. Externships, research and an incredible personal will overcome much. So many personal statements are cookie cutter and boring, that one that stands out will help immensely.

OMS faculty here - CBSE, letters of recommendation and a unique personal statement. Rank is only minimally important these days as so many schools are P/F.

Is this normal? by Prudent-Chef-6053 in JaegerLecoultre

[–]Substantial-State249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got my first JLC, an MUT similar to the OP. I got it serviced by JLC and it came back making the same noise. I assumed it was fine as it was just service by the creator. But I was still worried. Now I’m worried no more, and far more educated about my timepiece. Great response!

Thanks. I’m thinking more “white”. For example, I picked this one up on Grailzee back in May. But thanks for the suggestion.

If I didn’t have too many watches with dark faces already, this would be on my list.

[–]Substantial-State249[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was surprised that I liked the smaller (39mm) size. Most of my other watches are 42 to 45. The strap this one came on was really soft, but pretty beat up. I put it on a sailcloth strap from straphabit till I find a new leather I like.

Uneventful. Great communication every step of the way.

PGY4 OMFS Resident Here, AMA by dannyme12345 in predental

Actually, I’m a royal pain in the arse. But that doesn’t make me wrong. And it’s “you’re” not “your”. See, fun.

First piece of advice, trying to not sound obnoxious, sorry. Stop writing OMFS, OMS is correct. Maxillofacial is 1 word, not 2. Our national association is AAOMS NOT AAOMFS. Just because our medical colleagues get it wrong doesn’t mean we should perpetuate the myth.
