At Texas A&M University College of Dentistry, we train Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons to excel as clinicians, researchers, and educators. Our graduate program is a full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery experience balanced between Trauma, Dentoalveolar, Orthognathic, Pathology, TMJ, Reconstruction, Anesthesia, Implantology, and Craniofacial Surgery, with rotations in Oncology and Oculoplastics. We emphasize evidence-based practice with compassionate surgical care. 

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residents in the six-year combined MD/OMS Certificate Program (OMS2005) spend the first month on service in Dallas, before starting as an advanced standing medical student at Texas A&M University College of Medicine, at the Dallas campus. Residents spend two years completing years two and three of medical school and then the final four years completing medical school electives, the General Surgery Preliminary Internship at Baylor University Medical Center (BUMC), and lastly, two years at the College of Dentistry and on housestaff at BUMC.

Our internationally-recognized faculty are experts in the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, including facial reconstruction, orthognathic surgery, dental implants, oral cancer and reconstuction, treatment of obstructive sleep apnea, and temporomandibular joint surgery.

Graduates go on to join private practice, complete fellowships, and enter academics. They also enjoy a unique, life-long relationship with mentors and a one-of-a-kind alumni group.
