Marcus Hwang discusses the future of OMS training with Dr. Srinivasa Chandra. They try to answer the question "how do you future-proof your learning?". Does your specific profession mean anything anymore or is the future of healthcare based on the chief complaint? Patients are more knowledgeable now, but they still present with a chief complaint of "my jaw is too small" or "I'm missing a lower molar". Patients rarely present to a provider and say "I need an oral surgeon" or "I need an interventional radiologist". The question is this. What matters more: the scope defined by your profession or the specific problems you can solve with your specific skills?
Dr. Chandra is currently an associate professor of surgery at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. He finished his dental training at Manipal University College of Dental Surgery in Manglalore, India before finishing his OMS residency in Bangalore, India. He obtained his medical degree from the St. George's University School of Medicine in London, United Kingdom. Upon arriving to the United States, Chandra was trained in OMS again at the University of Nebraska Medical center. He then completed a fellowship in head and neck oncologic surgery and microvascular reconstruction at the University of Florida College of Medicine under the tutelage of Dr. Rui Fernandes.

Marcus Hwang explores Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) in a two-part series with Dr. Jeffrey Carter. In Part 1, they focus on the history of ASCs in the United States and its relevance to OMS. They explore insurance reimbursement changes that affected the scope of practice, trend of orthognathic surgery in ASCs, the relevance of the payer mix, and much more. Stay tuned for Part 2, as the two delve into the specifics on building ASCs and Dr. Carter's tips and tricks from his experience establishing such practices over his career.
Dr. Carter obtained his DMD from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, MD from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, and trained in OMFS at Vanderbilt University.
The host makes a mistake towards the end of the episode when he comments that the Oregon Medicaid covers orthognathic surgery for patient's undergoing gender affirmation surgery. This is incorrect. The more correct statement is that it is being advocated for Oregon Medicaid to cover facial surgeries for those experiencing gender dysphoria. Fortunately, some third party payers that traditionally did not cover orthognathic surgery began to cover facial feminization/masculinization surgery. But it is crucial for OMS that orthognathic surgery is included in that language. The host regrets making this mistake, but left this misstep in the episode to introduce potential strategies going forward for insurance coverage for OMS procedures.
