The Department of OMS offers the entering class students of the 6-year MD-integrated OMS residency training program the opportunity to participate in various clinical and non-clinical activities during the first two weeks of their program. The students will be assigned to observe the functioning of the department, work with the resident and attending staff in managing the patients on the OMS services in the operating room, inpatient floors, and in the office setting. Attendance at morning and afternoon rounds and other teaching conferences is an important part of the course. There will be an opportunity to take in-house night-call with other fellow OMS residents at BMC. Day to day instruction will focus on principles and pathophysiology of head and neck surgical disease, pre-, peri-, and post-operative care of surgical patients, and evaluation and development of procedural skills in minor oral surgery in an ambulatory setting.
