Dear patients, colleagues, and visitors,
The Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Emory University provides an excellent environment for training residents to perform all aspects of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. We operate more than 1,800 major cases per year between Emory University Hospital, Emory University Hospital Midtown, Winship Cancer Institute, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and Grady Memorial Hospital. In addition, we have nearly 20,000 outpatient visits per year in The Emory Clinic including more than 500 sedations. The scope of practice provided by our well-trained faculty is broad including dentoalveolar surgery, dental implants, anesthesia, pathology, trauma, orthognathic surgery, temporomandibular joint surgery, head and neck cancer, and microvascular reconstruction.
We also provide a robust environment for clinical research with multiple funded projects and numerous annual publications. We encourage and support resident participation in the research projects and also afford the opportunity for residents who participate to travel to national meetings to present their results. Residents are also encouraged to participate in cleft lip and palate mission trips, global surgery initiatives, and local community outreach programs to help the underserved and also provide additional resident experience.
One of our strengths remains our weekly three-hour Monday morning Grand Rounds presentations, during which the residents participate in structured didactic learning curriculum. This is supplemented with additional didactic and clinical learning experiences.
I am pleased to lead a wonderful team at Emory where we focus on patient care and resident success. Emory is well placed to provide a strong experience and great education for our residents, all while living in a thriving multicultural city with so many great restaurants, entertainment venues and recreational outlets.
Sincerely,
Gary F. Bouloux MD, DDS, MDSc, FRACDS, FRACDS(OMS), FRCS (Eng), FACS
