Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Internship
Length of Program: 1 year
Number of Positions: 1 for graduates of CODA-accredited dental schools
Financial Arrangement: UC Salary Breakdown
Program Director: Dr. Earl Freymiller
The Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery offers a one-year internship for dentists who are interested in gaining an additional year of education and experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery beyond that which is taught during dental school. This is an excellent program for those dentists who are interested in becoming oral and maxillofacial surgeons, but who desire further experience prior to beginning a formal residency training program. The intern receives similar education, training, and responsibilities as that of an oral and maxillofacial surgery resident in the first year of a six-year program (please refer to Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency program). However, this one-year program cannot be counted toward completion of a formal certificate program.
