Residents will:
- Learn the oral and systemic evaluation and management of the routine and medically-compromised surgery patient.
- Gain experience and develop confidence in simple and surgical exodontia.
- Learn operating room protocol.
- Gain experience in the management of intraoral and extraoral infections and postoperative complications.
