The OHSU OMS externship offers qualified third and fourth year dental students an opportunity to gain firsthand experience within an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency, while providing an opportunity to learn from our residents and faculty. Externs will participate in rounds, conferences, operating rooms, clinics, and on-call duties. Our externship duration is one week at OHSU. We accept one extern at a time; application can be competitive. Externs are expected to participate in our program to the fullest extent possible by taking night call, attending surgical rounds, journal clubs, and scrubbing in to O.R. cases. Each extern will also give a brief presentation on an OMS topic of their choice during our weekly OHSU teaching conference. No application will be considered until it is fully complete. OHSU does not have student housing; it's the extern's responsibility to make their own housing arrangements here in Portland, as well as cover their travel and personal expenses.
