The Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in Shreveport is seeking applicants for one 4-year residency position for the 2024-2025 year. This position is available immediately.
Our program, located in Shreveport, Louisiana, is accredited as both a 4-year and 6-year Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency program. We accept one 4-year and two 6-year categorical residents per year. We operate within a high-volume, comprehensive setting recognized nationally for its breadth of cases. We are an incredibly busy level 1 trauma center and take facial trauma every other month of the year (rotating facial trauma each month with ENT). Our residents manage a diverse array of cases with a level of independence that distinguishes our program. Our trauma, pathology, reconstruction, and head and neck oncology experiences are outstanding. You will gain extensive experience in patient care, facial trauma, dentoalveolar surgery, and exposure to the full scope of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery.
In this 4-year track program, you will begin as a categorical intern. This 1st year is spent completing off-service rotations, which include General Surgery, MICU, ED, and Anesthesiology. This is a unique opportunity that we offer here at LSU Shreveport that separates us from other programs. The subsequent 3 years are spent in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The application requirements are listed below:
