College of
Physicians
and Surgeons (P&S),
Columbia
University, and one year of
general surgery residency at
Columbia
Presbyterian
Medical
Center. The yearly
breakdown is as follows:
Year I - PGY1 Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - 9 Months
Anesthesia
3 Months
Year II - Medical School
Year III - Medical School
Year IV - PGY1 General Surgery Residency
Year V - Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Year VI - Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
During the residency years, a salary is paid at the level of training. For
2007-2008, the PGY1 salary is $46,496, PGY 3 $51,954, PGY 4 $53,736. While in
medical school, tuition payment is required. Financial aid is available. While
in medical school at
Columbia,
OMS residents will complete the 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.
Columbia
Presbyterian
Medical
Center,
located in Northern Manhattan in the shadow of the
George
Washington
Bridge, is a modern
health sciences campus committed to academic and clinical excellence. Located
at the medical center is Presbyterian Hospital, a 1,000 bed tertiary care
hospital, and the Health Sciences Campus of Columbia University which include
the medical, dental, nursing, and public health schools.
Presbyterian
Hospital
opened its 745 bed mainframe hospital in January 1990. This magnificent
structure contains the most modern support facilities in the region. A 300 bed
unit, The Allen Pavilion, was opened by
Presbyterian
Hospital
in 1989. It is located ten minutes north of the medical center and provides
opportunities for care in a community hospital setting. Children's
Hospital of
New York-Presbyterian
is the only children's hospital in
Manhattan.
Columbia Presbyterian has been rated among the top five medical centers in the
United States
and number one in
New York City. Also located at the medical
center is the August Long Library, the second largest academic health sciences
library in the nation, containing over 500,000 volumes, 4400 current periodical
subscriptions, and extensive holdings of media, electronic resources, rare
books, and archival materials. The research facilities and opportunities at the
medical center are also unparalleled in the region. CUMC is one of the top five
recipients of NIH research dollars in the
United States
.
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 60 patients per trip.
We recognize the combined program is academically and financially challenging,
of long duration, and not the only option in OMS training. However, we believe
that the opportunity to be broadly educated and trained in recognized programs
in medicine and dentistry is desired by a growing number of people choosing a
career in oral and maxillofacial surgery, and thus we have developed a logical
and educationally sound program leading to an MD degree, postgraduate training
in general surgery and subspecialty training in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Everyone accepted to this program is expected to complete all six years. If you
fail to complete the program because of transfer to another program in medicine
or surgery, we will require you to repay any tuition abatement, stipends, or
financial support you may receive from
Columbia
University or
Presbyterian
Hospital
while you are in medical school . You will be asked to
withdraw from your course of study at P&S and/or the residency program at
CUMC.
Requirements for this program include successful completion of an accredited
American or Canadian dental school and one of the following: United States
Citizenship, a permanent resident card, or a J-1 visa. Applications may be made
through PASS, and
Columbia
participates in the Post Doctoral Dental Matching Program. Further information
and application forms may be obtained by contacting:

career in oral and maxillofacial surgery and specifically the training program
at
Columbia are

surgery at CUMC. If accepted, the student will be expected to function at the
sub-intern level, holding primary responsibility in the out -patient clinic,
