The minimum amount of time that an extern should spend at the University of Kentucky is 2 weeks. We encourage students to spend a month. Externs participate in all the activities of the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery service. This includes the outpatient clinic, operating room, and emergency room call. All extern activities are supervised by residents and attending faculty. The extern will also participate in the entire academic activities that are required of the residents. We limit participation to three externs at one time and considers applicants on a first come first served basis.

Interested students should send a letter of request, Dean's letter, evidence of malpractice insurance, and the attached application information to:
