They will be given the opportunity to observe complex oral surgery procedures to obtain greater understanding of the inter-relationships of oral diseases and systemic diseases and to participate in the perioperative evaluation and management of patients. The student will attend rounds, conferences and seminars and they will also be assigned to the Out-patient Department and to the Operating Room. The student will also participate in selected activities representing a variety of ongoing clinical and didactic programs such as the Departmental Grand Rounds.
