The University of Kentucky Orofacial Pain Center offers a Shadowing Program to interested health
professionals who wish to join Dr. Okeson and his faculty and residents for a one week experience in the
Orofacial Pain Center. Each participant takes part in all the Center’s daily activities for the entire week. These
activities include all literature review sessions, topic seminars, case reports and patient conferences.
Participants also observe in all patient evaluations and treatments.
The following is a schedule of the Orofacial Pain Center activities during a typical week. Each participant can

The program is offered during most weeks from September through June. We normally have only one
participant each week because we feel this enhances the learning experience. If you have several
interested participants who wish to enroll in the program together we will try to accommodate your
needs. If you are interested in attending the Shadowing Program please contact Mr. Dewayne Martin
at dmart5@email.uky.edu to arrange a suitable week.
