Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
General
Description
The Advanced Education Program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
is based at the Bellevue Hospital Center campus of New York University
Medical Center. The Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery dates
back to 1867 when the first organized course in oral surgery was offered
by what was then known as the New York College of Dentistry. The long
affiliation between NYU and Bellevue Hospital has enabled the program
to fulfill its mission in training postdoctoral students to become leaders
in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. Many surgeons responsible
for the changing face of the specialty were also leaders of the Department
of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, among them Drs. Leo Winter, Harry
Seldin, and William Harrigan.
Didactic training in biomedical sciences takes place at the College
of Dentistry and the Medical Center. A wealth of clinical experience
is achieved at the affiliate teaching hospitals. These include Tisch
Hospital- NYU Medical Center, Lenox Hill Hospital, New York Eye and
Ear Infirmary, Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital, and The Harbor
Healthcare System- Veterans Administration Hospital.
Accreditation Status
The program is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation
of the American Dental Association. Each year two applicants are accepted
into the six-year OMS/MD program.
