Overview
The UTMB Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Training Program is a CODA-accredited full-scope program that covers core oral and maxillofacial surgery procedures, including head and neck oncology, microvascular reconstruction, TMJ surgery, and OSA surgery. The residency currently enrolls one resident per year for a four-year certificate program. The Division consists of three full-time faculty members. This internship prepares applicants for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency, with responsibilities similar to those of a PGY-1 resident.
