Abstract:
A dentist who has just completed eight years of oral and maxillofacial residency training reflects on what drew him to the specialty and how it changed him. He notes three characteristics of his training that differed from predoctoral education and help define a surgeon: patient-based learning, learning from constant discussions with colleagues, and the habit of facing unexpected outcomes as a source of learning.
