Welcome to the University of Maryland Department of Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery Residency webpage. We currently offer 4-year and 6-year residency training programs. This program has a long history of offering an exceptional experience in Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery. Complementing our strong core OMS training, the training at Maryland includes maxillofacial oncology, major cranio-maxillofacial trauma, microvascular reconstructive surgery, and cleft surgery. The 4 Year Program: The University of Maryland’s 4-year certificate program is a fully accredited specialty training experience. In the first year, the trainee spends 6 months on the OMS service, two months on the Internal Medicine/Cardiology service, and 4 months with Anesthesiology. The trainee also participates in a comprehensive physical diagnosis course beginning in July. Year two will have the trainee’s time divided between clinical Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery and various surgical rotations to include General and Trauma Surgery, Critical Care, Surgical Oncology, and Emergency Surgery. The third and fourth year will be spent entirely on the OMS service with the fourth year as Chief Resident, rotating between the general, trauma, and pathology services. The 6 Year Program: The University of Maryland's integrated residency - M.D. program is a fully accredited specialty training experience. During the trainee's first year, ten months are spent in clinical Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery and two months on the Anesthesiology service. The trainee also participates in an eight month long course in patient evaluation at the medical school. Residents are required to take and pass Part I of the National Medical Boards prior to being given advanced standing in the medical school. In support of this endeavor, a 6 week intensive board review course is provided for by the program. The second and third years are spent in the medical school at the third and fourth year levels. Elective months are spent in Oral-Maxillofacial Pathology, Oral-Maxillofacial Surgery, Anesthesiology among other rotations. The trainee spends the fourth year of the program as a General Surgery PGY-1 resident.
