[edit] This
This article needs major cleanup - grammar needs to be fixed, external links would be lovely, and the list at the bottom needs to be less ugly!! Junkyardprince | Tark 23:30, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC) penis Editing recommended for "Changes to length of training and course curriculum" in UK section: There are several improvements which ought to be made. Firstly the throwaway line about how US OMFS are well-rounded/shorter training, while factually accurate, has an unintended tone of voice and seems to suggest a preference for one or the other. If this information is considered to be desirable for the general Wikipedia readership then it needs editing, otherwise it probably should be omitted. Hmm this has just highlighted the problem of trying to meet the needs of the general public and the needs of an informed readership in the same article. Second, the comment about official recognition during the switch to dual qualification phase should probably be omitted or edited as there were many reasons for the change. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.108.191.138 (talk • contribs) 13:12, December 30, 2006
[edit] UK & Europe
The United Kingdom is part of Europe and a member of the E.U. I think the writer here wanted to mention the differential terminology; so I will try to preserve this in my edit. Japsai (talk) 09:21, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I dont know how, but it would be nice if someone could make it that typing in 'maxfax' is routed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.68.74.132 (talk) 12:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Done! Jwri7474 (talk) 13:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
- Support. Someone may have abandoned this merge tag, but I definitely concur that Oral and maxillofacial surgeon should be combined with this; there is no reason for there to be a division. --mordicai. 20:53, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dental Degree + OMFS training for MD graduates
There are a number of programs (not only in the US) that are becoming more open to the idea of granting MD graduates advance standing into Dental school and then allowing them to enter OMFS training. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jwri7474 (talk • contribs) 08:21, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sources pro- and con- the usage of "maxillofacial" vs. "maxillo-facial"
I don't have the access to edit the article but if anybody wants to put the below in the article, here y'go.
- The EU use "oral and maxillo-facial", eg "European guidelines for specialty training in oral and maxillo-facial surgery" (see [1]) and "DIRECTIVE 2001/19/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 14 May 2001" (see [2])
- The UK use "oral and maxillofacial" but abbreviates it OMF (eg [3] or [4])
- The US use "oral and maxillofacial" and abbreviates it OM (I think)
- Variants include "Oro-Maxillo-Facial Surgery" (OMFS) (see [5]) or - crazily - "Cranio-Maxillo-Facial Surgery" (CMFS) (see [6])
- See also "International Guidelines for Specialty Training and Education in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery" (see [7])

[edit] Entertainment? Really?
It says the type of occupation is "Entertainment". I believe "Medical" would be more appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.77.126.50 (talk) 20:46, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
