Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency

The New York Medical College School of Medicine (NYMC SOM) offers a four-year training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMFS).

Each year, the program takes in two new students. A certificate is presented to those candidates who successfully complete the program. The program also offers an M.D. option at NYMC SOM to those qualified residents who successfully complete the OMFS program. The Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standards Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) Standards  are the underlying basis for the OMFS program with the expectation that graduates will be Certified by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

As a resident at the NYMC SOM Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program, you’ll receive hands-on experience, classroom learning, and time in the hospital. The program follows the guidelines set by the American Dental Association and aims for students to receive certification from the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The program is designed to provide clinical, didactic, and hospital experiences at the postdoctoral level in OMFS, as well as scholarly activities. While rotating on-call coverage at Westchester Medical Center with ENT and plastic surgery, residents routinely see and treat complex lacerations, orbital, midface and mandibular trauma. All the attending faculty are highly skilled in treating extensive facial trauma and allow residents ample opportunities.
