Welcome to the site for the department of oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Florida College of Medicine – Jacksonville. The department dates back to the early 1960's, when housed within the department of surgery, its first resident graduated from the program.

Our faculty members perform the entire spectrum of traditional and contemporary oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS). We offer a comprehensive facial trauma and reconstruction practice, pediatric craniomaxillofacial surgery, facial aesthetic surgery, TMJ and corrective jaw surgery, head and neck oncology and microvascular rehabilitation and reconstruction of head and neck defects.

The department of oral and maxillofacial surgery offers a six-year residency program which leads to a medical degree and a certificate in oral and maxillofacial surgery. We also offer two post-graduate fellowships following completion of OMS training, those being our head and neck oncologic surgery and microvascular fellowship program and our pediatric craniofacial fellowship program.

The Jacksonville department also offers:

• Four-week clerkship for medical students as a fourth-year rotation
• One- and two-week externship opportunities to dental students during their third and fourth years of dental school
