In June 1954, Dr. Marsh Robinson
organized, and was named chairman of, the advanced residency program
in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Southern
California School of Dentistry. The first residents were two
individuals selected from the senior dental class to continue their
advanced education in this specialty. The Los Angeles County/
University of Southern California Medical Center, the largest
teaching hospital in the United States, was designated as the
training facility of our residency program.
