Description:
The OMFS Externship Workshop, hosted by the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Society, provided valuable guidance on preparing for and excelling in OMFS externships. The session covered how to select externship sites, strategies for making a strong impression, and what to expect during clinical rotations. Hearing firsthand experiences and advice from upperclassmen and faculty gave me practical tools and boosted my confidence as I plan my own externship experiences.
This workshop directly supports my career interest in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery by helping me navigate a key component of the residency application process. It also reinforces concepts from our clinical coursework and introduces real-world expectations that will shape my professional growth beyond the classroom.
