The student will learn about the surgical management of oral and head and neck pathology and the correction of congenital and traumatic deformities. Acute trauma care is a major component of this service. The student will have some responsibility for inpatient care each week. Students will have the opportunity to perform minor procedures in the clinic, as well as the emergency room. Operating room activity is encouraged. All activities are supervised by the chief resident and attending. Management decisions are made only after being discussed with the resident and attending. A minimum of four (4) conferences occurs each week. Grand rounds occur on Monday and Friday mornings, and didactic lectures occur on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
