"We offer a full-scope experience for those looking to match in a competitive oral and maxillofacial surgery residency training program. Our interns receive exposure to Dentoaveolar, head and neck trauma, head and neck cancer - including microvascular reconstructive surgery, orthognathic surgery, and all its data-collection, diagnosis, and treatment planning, Facial pain, and of course, operating room surgical experience.

The best way to describe your clinical experience is to briefly outline a typical week for a John Peter Smith Hospital, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery intern.
  • Monday is IV sedation day, with noon grand rounds for orthognathic reconstructive surgery presentations, at which the interns will present comprehensive orthognathic surgery work-ups.
  • Tuesday, the OMFS clinic is for dentoalveolar patients all day. We are also running a facial/oral lesion clinic, which is primarily for skin cancer diagnosis and removal, and follow-ups from cancer resection surgery from the previous weeks. Additionally, we are in the operating room all day, primarily for facial trauma.
  • Wednesday is the extraction clinic in the morning, and the afternoon is the facial pain clinic, specifically for diagnosing and managing facial pain/TMJ disorders. We are also in the operating room all day.
  • Thursday, the OMFS clinic is for dentoalveolar patients all day. Thursday is also our main OR time for cancer resection and reconstruction surgeries.
  • Friday is a full mouth extraction/IV sedation clinic and pre-op work-ups for the next week.
The department of oral and maxillofacial surgery covers all the facial trauma calls for the hospital 24/7/365.

Our interns work alongside the 5th and 6th-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residents from the UT-Southwestern/Parkland training program.

Our interns will have unrivaled support for applying to advanced oral & maxillofacial surgery training. Including regular lectures, workshops, and mock interviews to prepare them for the rigorous application demands of an oral & maxillofacial surgery residency program."
