Abstract

Disparity in didactic education among oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS) training programs has driven a national conversation regarding the need for a standardized OMS curriculum, which has been recently amplified by the drastic interruption of OMS training programs during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. In the present report, we have described the Collaborative OMS Virtual Interinstitutional Didactic (COVID) Program, a multi-institutional educational curriculum developed in response to the pandemic and aimed toward OMS resident education.
