Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clerkships (externships) are available for students
currently enrolled in U.S. or Canadian dental schools who have completed at least
the first semester of the third year. Externships are offered for a minimum of two
weeks. Applicants should be in the top quarter of their dental school class and
should have a score of 87 or better in the NBDE Part 1 examination.
Clerkship experience
House staff perform most services offered in Saint Raphael's outpatient Oral and Maxillofacial Clinic
- a spacious, state-of-the-art facility that sees a wide range of patients and is fully equipped to
provide the full scope of OMS ambulatory surgery and anesthesia. Many patients come from poor, inner
city neighborhoods and face multiple health issues. Saint Raphael's Smiles to Go mobile dental clinic,
which provides dental care to needy schoolchildren and others in the area, refers many patients to the
clinic. Thus, Saint Raphael's offers OMS residents a broad and thorough medical education.
The Section of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery offers a four-year residency program accredited by
the Commission on Dental Accreditation. Externs will work together with the residents in providing
a full range of outpatient and inpatient care.
Externs will work alongside the residents in both the outpatient and the inpatient settings at Saint
Raphael and at the nearby affiliate, the Yale-New Haven Hospital. They will participate in the full
range of didactic activities during the time of the externship, including Case presentations, Tumor
Board and Journal Club, and will take on-call responsibilities with the residents, as appropriate.
Housing
Located on Long Island Sound between New York and Boston, Saint Raphael's hometown of New Haven is a
city that combines New England charm with cosmopolitan life; internationally known museums with
international cuisine. This urban setting provides ample housing opportunities.
