Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: An Illustrated Guide for Medical Students and Allied Healthcare Professionals

About the book: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: An Illustrated Guide for Medical Students and Allied Healthcare Professionals is the definitive and only resource specifically for undergraduate medical students, brought to you by an author team of both trainees and consultants on behalf of the British Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS).  This book revolves around key anatomical regions and uses a unique “fireside chat” approach that makes easy reading.  It simplifies and demystifies basic aspects of oral and maxillofacial, and head and neck surgery, by covering the basics of clinical examination of the face and mouth as well as managing pathology of the skull, facial skeleton and paranasal sinuses, jaws, mouth, salivary glands, neck and facial skin.  It is highly relevant to all medical undergraduates but especially those who would like to simply ask the question, “What exactly is oral and maxillofacial surgery” and “Is this a potential career for me?”.   In addition to prime educational content that is practically relevant to the undergraduate medical curriculum, the reader will gain a clearer insight into the career pathway in the UK, the unbelievable breadth of the specialty and the myriad opportunities that it can provide.
