VIII. ACADEMIC LIFE

M.D./D.D.S. Program

Two oral and maxillofacial surgery residents per year enter P&S to earn an M.D. degree, then return to complete the Oral/Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program.

The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Training Program is a six year post D.D.S program sponsored by New York Presbyterian Hospital.  After completing the first year of training, residents enter P&S and, after two years, earn the M. D. degree.  These residents then complete the PGY 1 year in general surgery before returning to the oral and maxillofacial surgery service for the final two years of the program.
