New York Presbyterian Hospital - Columbia University Medical Center

The residency training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at NewYork Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center is six years in duration. This program includes, in addition to resident training in oral and maxillofacial surgery, a curriculum leading to a medical degree from the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons (P&S), and one year of general surgery residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital. Everyone accepted to this program is expected to complete all six years.

During the residency years, a salary is paid at the level of training and while in medical school, tuition payment is required. Financial aid is available. During medical school at Columbia, OMS residents will complete the second half of the first year, second year, third year and core rotations of the fourth year of the P&S curriculum, receiving the M.D. degree at the end of the third year of the OMS training program.

The Residency Program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery provides training in the full scope of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Close interaction with the faculty and postgraduate students in orthodontics, periodontics and prosthetics at the dental school serves to strengthen the resident's background in comprehensive case management in orthognathic, preprosthetic, and implant surgery. In addition, residents annually travel to South America with a team from the CUMC Craniofacial Center to treat cleft lip and palate children, operating on approximately 175 patients per trip.
