UMiami/JMH Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

ionally recognized faculty, international referrals, a challenging environment, and a tremendous volume of maxillofacial trauma. Jackson Memorial Hospital is a Level One Trauma Center, and the division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery covers approximately 63% of all facial trauma calls. The OMFS service operates at three different hospitals for a total of ten OR days per week. The program receives national and international referrals and is exposed to pathology that other programs see only in textbooks. The surgical and anesthesia experience offered to the residents begins in their first year, and continues for an intense four-year period. The Division of OMFS consists only of full time faculty with a total commitment to education and community service. There are no other training programs similar to this in surgical volume, case selection, and history. Scope of Services:
The OMFS Residency Program specializes in pathology, trauma, anesthesia, and reconstructive surgery. In addition, it offers training in dentoalveolar, implant, orthognathic, and TMJ surgeries. Finally in an agreement with the United States Naval Dental Corp, additional training in orthognathic, cosmetics, and TMJ is provided to the resident at the Portsmouth Naval Medical Center in Portsmouth, Virginia.
