Observership

The Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch offers a 1- or 2- week observership rotation at our facilities for both dental and medical students who are interested in pursuing a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Activities include observation in the day-to-day activities of our program - rounds, clinics, inpatient care, and observing in the operating rooms and in the trauma and emergency suites.

  • A dental school transcript
