A survey was conducted of oral and maxillofacial surgeons with double degrees who are members of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS). The survey consisted of questions related to obtaining their MD degree; comparing the difficulty of medical school versus dental school and oral and maxillofacial surgery residency; and to whether they thought pursuing an MD degree was worthwhile and would they recommend the pursuit of an MD degree to interested DDS/DMD oral and maxillofacial surgery residents. The results showed that those surveyed thought that obtaining an MD degree was worthwhile and, if they had a chance to do it over again, would do so.
