The one-year non-degree pre-residency program focuses on training new dental graduates in minor oral and maxillofacial surgery, including dentoalveolar surgery, preprosthetic surgery, dentoalveolar trauma, management of odontogenic infections, exposure to dental implants, and management of the medically compromised patient. Applicants enrolled in the program will rotate through Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Boston Medical Center, and other affiliate institutions.

The goal of the Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Pre-Residency Internship Program is to provide residents with excellent didactic and clinical experience. On completion, graduates will possess sufficient professional knowledge, skills, and ability to practice minor oral surgery competently and independently.
