Returning to the OMS service as a 2nd year, 12 consecutive months of clinical, operatory, and the OMS 24/7/365 hospital-based resident call pool will ensure our military residents are fully prepared to matriculate to 3rd year where off-service rotations at Texas Health Resources, Harris Methodist Hospital in Ft.
