The Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery of Christiana Care Health System offers a one to two week hospital- based extern program in oral & maxillofacial surgery. The program is designed for those highly motivated students who plan to make application to an oral & maxillofacial surgery residency and who seek more intensive exposure to the specialty beyond what is traditionally incorporated in undergraduate education. Externs are exposed to the full scope of oral & maxillofacial Surgery at a busy Level-1 trauma center including spending ample time in the operating room, as well as assisting the one-call resident with emergency room and ward care procedures. Participants make daily hospital rounds and attend all resident educational seminars and conferences. In addition, the extern is exposed to the practice of pain control, including outpatient general anesthesia as well as providing patient care in our hospital outpatient clinic. At this time of application, the candidate must be a matriculated third year student at an accredited school of dentistry or school of medicine.
