Dentistry vs. Medicine

Some friends of mine were arguing over which one was longer as a whole [i.e. becoming a dentist vs. doctor.] - Training that is.

Are they both the same length of time?

The course at university is the same length, but in dentistry you have to complete a one year vocational training course before you can practise properly. I'm not sure what post-degree training there is after a medicine degree.

Graduating from medical school is in Churchill's words only "the end of the beginning" - there's a long haul of experience and examination ahead whatever you decide to specialise in, including a pre-registration year as in Dentistry.

I think you can get to consultant pay much quicker right?
