Conferences and Courses

Weekly and Monthly Conferences

OMFS Grand Rounds

Held weekly on Thursdays from 7:15 AM to 8:15 AM, and attended by all OMFS faculty and residents.

Narrowly defined topics will be assigned in an orderly fashion. In-depth research is required prior to and after the conference to achieve maximal learning. The presenter will be the program expert on that topic and the paper should be an authoritative resource for fellow residents.

The presentation must be detailed and references provided. Residents are to make a formal presentation as if it were at a national OMFS society meeting.
