The Los Angeles County/USC Medical Center (LAC/USC-MC) is one of the largest regional medical centers and teaching hospitals in the United States, consisting of four major hospitals and several outpatient service facilities on one campus. Unit I, the main hospital, houses over 2,000 beds (600 active) and is a Level I Trauma Center. 850 residents are in full-time training under the guidance of 450 full-time faculty members. There are 50,000 inpatients admitted and 750,000 outpatients visited annually at this medical center. In 2002, it has also become the designated US Naval Trauma Training Center.

Our outpatient dental facility recorded over 14,000 patient visits last year, consisting of all aspects of outpatient procedures. The clinic is a wealth of study cases as well as an avenue for valuable surgical experiences. This pool of patients gives us the opportunity to evaluate and treat a wide range oral and maxillofacial surgery problems.


USC School of Dentistry

Established in 1897, the USC School of Dentistry is a private professional school with a unique heritage and an international reputation. The dental school provides to our department professional contacts with all of our dental colleagues (all graduate dental specialties are represented at USC). This offers to us valuable contributions from other sectors and disciplines of dentistry. Residents will have rotations at the dental school performing dentoalveolar and implants procedures as well as gaining intravenous sedation/anesthesia and teaching experiences. The Department of Orthodontics is an integral part of our training program providing a biweekly scheduled orthognathic conference with our department.
