* When OMFS Residents are attending SOM, they are required to purchase OHSU major medical insurance and dental insurance or a policy approved by OHSU. The major medical and dental insurance requirement may be waived if the student shows satisfactory proof of equivalent insurance and signs a statement agreeing to keep it in force during the academic period for which the fees are being paid. The dental insurance fee is charged during the Fall, Winter and Spring terms only.

All residents spend a minimum of four months on the anesthesia service. An elective month may be available during the 5th year of the program during which time you are on general surgery rotation or previous residents have utilized this for extramural experience either within the United States or abroad.

All applications must be made through PASS (Postdoctoral Application Support Service). All applicants must have graduated from an ADA accredited U.S. or Canadian dental school. All applicants must have citizenship or resident alien status with a green card indicating they are a permanent resident of the United States. Resident aliens are encouraged to have at least one year of full-time college work at a university or college in the United States. Resident aliens are more competitive if they can speak English fluently. Applicants are selected for admission regardless of race, gender, age, religion, national origin, color, marital status or disabilities.
