Program Overview
Program Director: Dr. David Stanton
The six-year integrated Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery/MD Program includes the awarding of a medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, a two-year certificate of General Surgery and a certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS).
Accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation*, the dual-degree track has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive approach to both the medical school and residency components of the program. Candidates who complete the program are eligible for examination by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
The hallmark of Penn's medical school is based on an innovative, and highly acclaimed curriculum, which fuses basic and clinical sciences. This, coupled with core clinical clerkships, allows the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery resident to receive a medical education without compromise. The core rotations in medical school are structured to include rotations which also meet mandated residency requirements.
Medical School
After completing a six-month rotation on the OMFS service, residents begin medical school in the winter of their first year. Residents begin in Module 2 of the curriculum 2000 at the University of Pennsylvania Medical School . During the medical school period of OMFS training, residents receive a stipend and benefits. In addition, residents will be responsible for occasional on-call nights with the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery to gain clinical experience during medical school.
USMLE
Beginning in the second year, residents are encouraged to sit for the four-part United States Medical Licensing Examination to continue in the program.
General Surgery
Residents serve in Penn's general surgery program for a 24 months. During this time, they have the full responsibilities given to interns on the general surgery service. Specialty rotations include: anesthesia, plastic surgery, surgical oncology, gastrointestinal surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, transplant surgery, trauma surgery, surgical intensive care, and oral and maxillofacial surgery.
