A variety of outpatient procedures are performed in the oral surgery clinic of the UCLA Dental School. Additional cases are performed in the operating rooms of the UCLA Medical Center. A considerable component of training is devoted to the presentation of clinically-oriented basic scientific material. The scientific background of oral surgical practice is emphasized in seminars, lectures, and conferences. Specific lecture courses are available, depending on the time of year.
Weekly seminars run throughout the year.
Clinical participation of individuals in the preceptor-ship program is limited to observation and assistance, with full participation in all didactic presentations.
