Questions: Administrative Coordinator: Lynn Mendoza Email: mendozalb@uthscsa.edu University of Texas Health Science Center -- San Antonio The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio's Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery has an OMS extern program. The experience is 2-4 weeks in duration and is open to dental students who wish to have an experience in clinical oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is preferred that students are in their third to fourth year of dental school. Externs are scheduled with OMS residents in OMS clinics, operating rooms, academic sessions, and also take on call duties with OMS Residents at the University Hospital. Those dental students interested in this experience should visit our website for the extern application: OMS.UTHSCSA.edu Because we limit the number of externs to 2 at a time, applications for the summer months should be sent early. We are not able to provide housing or malpractice insurance for the externs. If accepted, YOU MUST SHOW PROOF OF MALPRACTICE INSURANCE PRIOR TO YOUR ARRIVAL FOR THE EXTERNSHIP.
