Extremely excited to announce our incoming residents! Congrats to all who have matched.
Ryan Mooneyham!
1) Dental school: University of Iowa College of Dentistry
Why OMFS: "A large part of my decision to pursue OMFS was inspired by my father, who was trained as an oral surgeon in the US Navy. The blend of medicine, dentistry, and the ability to truly make a difference in someone’s life has always captivated me about this profession."
2) Why Augusta – "Seeing how the current residents interacted with each other made it feel like a family and an awesome team which really drew me to this program. I also know that by training at Augusta, I would be extremely well-prepared as a future surgeon working so closely with the faculty, and by the sheer scope of practice and breadth of procedures performed."
3) Favorite things to do outside of work: "In my free time, I really enjoy camping at State parks with my girlfriend, Liz, and our 3-year-old German Shepard, Ellie! We also enjoy exploring local craft breweries and hanging out with friends and family."
4) Fun fact: "Worked at a movie theatre for 10 years before going to dental school. Favorite movie: Titanic (I have this weird fascination with the Titanic – ask me anything about the ship!)"
