 Externship |
High caliber, motivated dental students find the brisk patient volume and diverse patient population very rewarding in their pursuit of OMS training. This clinical externship is designed for dental students seriously considering post doctoral training. Selected applicants are integrated onto the OMS service and are afforded a first hand view of residency training. Operating room time, treatment planning, emergency and shock trauma coverage, case presentations, dental implant surgery, exodontia, morning rounds, and didactic lectures are some of the ways externs spend their time. On-campus housing MAY be available on limited basis. This externship provides the student with extensive care delivery in both the inpatient and outpatient setting. Academic conferences, in-service presentations and morning resident teaching rounds also provide the externing student with valuable exposure to the depth and scope of the specialty. Inpatient encounters will focus on treatment planning and surgery for the orthognathic, trauma, and pathology patient while exodontia, dentoalveolar, and implant surgery will comprise the bulk of outpatient care. The student will learn to evaluate head & neck infections and evaluating the acute trauma patient while on-call. The extern will be asked to assist and participate in all facets of our residency program. Please download the externship application and return the application, proof of malpractice insurance coverage, and a dean's letter stating the student is in good academic standing to the following address.
