PROGRAM 246 OMS 6-YEAR

The Six-Year Integrated MD training program has been developed to prepare the graduate for an academic and/or private practice career in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.  It is an integrated clinical and didactic program designed to meet the requirements leading to certification by the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. The residency program is fully approved by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association.  Following successful completion of the residency program, the candidate will receive a medical degree from Rutgers University, New Jersey Medical School, a certificate of completion for one year of General Surgery residency, and a specialty certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.  Students/residents enrolled in medical school are responsible for the tuition costs for the two years enrolled in medical school.

The residency training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is based at the Newark campus of Rutgers University at the School of Dental Medicine.  This campus is also home to University Hospital, New Jersey Medical School, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, School of Health Related Professions, School of Nursing and the George F. Smith Medical Library. The Doctor’s Office Center is the campus’s faculty practice building which is home to several of the nation’s leading medical/dental specialists which is located adjacent to the School of Dental Medicine. University Hospital is the principle teaching hospital for New Jersey Medical School and the School of Dental Medicine.  Newark is the largest city in the State of New Jersey with an ethnically and racially diverse population.

Our training program strives to prepare graduates for a successful and productive career in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.  The curriculum is designed to develop the clinical, academic and communicative skills that will provide for diversified career options.  Graduates of the program will be prepared to pursue a contemporary full scope Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery practice and be prepared for licensure and the rigors of specialty board examination.
