Research opportunities may be avialble dependding upon level of interest of the student. The Externship is an intensive rotation during which the students will participate in all Departmental activities including didactic conferences, lectures, seminars, patient care in the outpatient clinic at the University of Illinois, as well as in the operating room at the University of Illinois Medical Center. Externships are available throughout the year. The Externship application, and additional information may be found at http://dentistry.uic.edu/depts/omfs/. Every effort will be made to accommodate specific requests, and the application and supporting documentation should be received at least one month prior to commencement of the externship.
