ORAL SURGERY

Hi everyone, my name is Reid. I was born and raised in Grande Prairie, Alberta. I did my undergrad at the Grande Prairie Regional College, during which time I was also playing Junior hockey. I moved to Edmonton in 2017 for dental school at University of Alberta. I then decided I wanted to specialize in OMFS in my 3rd year of dental school. I started off after dental school by completing the University of Alberta General Practice Residency program, before applying to both Canadian and American OMFS programs. I was fortunate enough to be accepted into the OMFS program at the University of Toronto. I am excited to share my knowledge about OMFS as well as GPR programs across the country with anyone who is considering either route post dental school.

Hello there, thanks for checking out my profile. My name is Matt Faigan, current OMFS resident at McGill University. I was born in Kelowna, British Columbia and grew up in Montreal, Quebec. Outside of work, I am an avid snowboarder, tennis player, and rock climber. I completed my undergrad in Anatomy and Cell Biology at McGill University in 2016. I come from a family of dentists – my grandfather, father, and brother are all dentists. I proudly joined them in this outstanding profession having graduated from dental school at McGill University in 2020. I discovered my passion for OMFS and embarked on the one-year OMFS internship offered at McGill. My love for this exciting specialty was solidified and I am thrilled to be a current OMFS resident in the dual-degree McGill OMFS residency program. It would be an honor to share my experiences with the challenging yet rewarding path towards a career in OMFS. Don’t be shy, I look forward to all your questions and am excited to help!
