The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program at the University at Buffalo is a six-year program sponsored by the School of Dental Medicine and conducted jointly with the Graduate Medical-Dental Education Consortium of Buffalo, the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and three University-affiliated hospitals (Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo General Hospital, and Women and Children's Hospital of Buffalo). It is the only oral surgery program in Western New York, and is based on the South (Main Street or Medical) Campus of the University. Graduates are well-trained to begin the independent practice of the specialty, and the program is fully accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association ("approval without reporting requirements"). Following satisfactory completion of a 72 months of training, a certificate of proficiency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the Doctor of Medicine degree are conferred.
Patient care activities occur at The Erie County Medical Center, Buffalo General Hospital, Women and Children's Hospital, and the School of Dental Medicine; these facilities represent approximately 1,700 hospital beds. Clinical experience includes rotations on Anesthesia, Medicine, General Surgery, Pediatrics, and other required and elective experiences. The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Service admits approximately 450 patients per year, with particular strengths in trauma and dentoalveolar surgery. There are approximately 6,500 outpatient visits to the service each year.
Two candidates are admitted to the program yearly and are provisionally accepted into the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences. First-year residents must successfully complete Step I of the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) in order to fully matriculate in the medical school. Clinical and didactic curricula are integrated throughout the 72 months of training, and tuition and fees are applicable during medical school. The second and third years of training are spent as full-time students in the medical school, and year four is a general surgery internship that qualifies residents for medical licensure in most states.
Participation in scholarly activity is required. Prior to program completion, each resident will have presented research findings at a regional or national meeting and/or otherwise contributed to the peer-review literature.
