Welcome to the new home of Peninsula Hospital's Dental Residency Program, online!

The General Practice Residency Program at Peninsula Hospital Center dates back to 1968 and has graduated almost 300 dental alumni now practicing throughout the United States and Canada.  The program is accredited by the Council on Dental Education.

The deadline has passed for the current 2011-2012 application cycle. Applications for the academic year commencing July 1, 2013 may be submitted beginning September 1, 2012.  The resident census will be between 5 and 8 depending on the available pool of qualified applicants.  This is a twelve-month program open to graduates of C.O.D.A. approved dental schools.  The deadline for applications is January 10, 2013.

There are no dental specialty programs at Peninsula Hospital Center enabling our dental residents to manage the total treatment plan without patients being assigned to residents in dental specialty programs.  Residents manage the full spectrum of dental needs of our patients including restorative, prosthodontics, pedodontics, periodontics, oral surgery, endodontics, and implant placement and restoration. Residents will have extensive involvement in management of physically and mentally challenged children and adults in the operating room setting, as well as become competent in management of medically compromised patients.

The program includes three off-service rotations of a 2-week duration – each including Anesthesiology, Family Practice Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Surgery.  Residents will participate in the LIJ/North Shore Oral Pathology Symposiums, the Weil-Cornell Oral Pathology Conferences in Manhattan, the full-day sessions of the Peninsula Hospital Dental Society, as well as the Greater New York and Greater Long Island annual dental meetings.
