INTERNSHIP PROGRAM

Currently, 1 OMFS/GPR Internship position are offered by our department at the LAC+USC Medical Center for dental graduates who are interested in pursuing a career in oral and maxillofacial surgery. The duration of this internship program is 12 months. Interns will have OMFS rotations (9 months) at our outpatient dental clinic as well as the USC School of Dentistry. The program will also include a minor component (3 months) of general dentistry rotation at other off site facilities. Upon completion of this program, interns will receive a GPR certificate issued by the USC School of Dentistry. Interns will function similarly to 1st year residents on our service. They will take in house calls like other residents and will participate in the daily workups and management of our inpatients. They will have the opportunity to participate in all didactic conferences and a variety of operating room cases. 

Application to this internship program usually starts in late January or early February after the match results have been announced. Information regarding this can be obtained by contacting Ms. Debra Otis at 323-2265051.
