Program Contact
The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program at Indiana University is a four year certificate program accredited by the American Dental Association. The residency is sponsored by Indiana University and its School of Dentistry. It is the only program in the State of Indiana located on the health sciences campus of Indiana University Indianapolis and provides training in the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. The residency accepts three residents per year.
Oral and maxillofacial surgical training occurs under the auspices of the School of Dentistry at several affiliated hospitals. The residents rotate to the three hospital facilities of IU Health Services (University Hospital, Methodist Hospital, and Riley Hospital for Children) and the Sidney and Lois Eskenazi Hospital and Ascension St. Vincent Hospital. There are well over 10,000 outpatient oral and maxillofacial surgery outpatient visits and 600 ambulatory office anesthestics annually.
The residency is structured so that throughout the four years the resident will participate in a core oral and maxillofacial experience in addition to assigned formal rotations in Anesthesia, Medicine, General Surgery, Trauma Surgery, Head and Neck surgery, Facial Cosmetic surgery, and Critical Care. In addition to the clinical rotations, the resident will participate in a didactic program that has several conferences scheduled per week.
After successful completion of the OMFS residency program, and upon recommendation of the Program Director, a resident may apply to the IU School of Medicine for admission into the third year class. Commencement of the medical school curriculum Is contingent upon successful pass of the USLME Step 1 examination. This is a MD-option and not an integrated MD program.
