University of Maryland

The University of Maryland’s four-year Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery certificate program is a CODA accredited advanced specialty training experience. In the first year, the trainee spends 5 months on the OMS service, two months on the internal medicine/cardiology service, and five months on the anesthesiology service. The trainee also participates in a comprehensive physical diagnosis course.

Year two will have the trainee’s time divided between clinical oral-maxillofacial surgery and various surgical rotations to include general and trauma surgery, critical care, surgical oncology, and emergency surgery.

The third and fourth year will be spent entirely on the OMS service with the fourth year as chief resident, rotating between the general, trauma, and oncology services.

Rotations to other surgicenters and private offices are also available to provide supplemental training in esthetic surgery and practice management.
