The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is well recognised as a centre of excellence for research in the fields of 3D imaging, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), trauma and orthognathic surgery. These special interests in the surgical specialties are linked with the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical service in the city and regional hospitals in the West of Scotland.
This programme will provide you with a thorough understanding of the basic principles of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. You will have a unique opportunity to regularly perform minor oral surgery procedures under supervision, assist in orthognathic & trauma surgery, and take part in outpatient consultant clinics.
The clinical component of the programme has been accredited by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow as satisfactory for sitting the final part of the MFDS examination. The research component will allow for the development of basic skills in structuring and implementing research in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery.
