Other Rotations

Oral Maxillofacial Surgery
Residents have the opportunity to work with OMFS attending staff to provide surgical care for the JFK Clinic patients. Residents learn a variety of surgical procedures from simple to surgical extractions and pre-prosthetic surgery. Many of these procedures are done under I.V. sedation so residents also learn to administer I.V. medications and monitor the patient appropriately.
