Description

This is a 24-month full-time hospital and health center-based CODA-accredited training program. Upon successful completion of all requirements, the resident is awarded a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry and meets the advanced education eligibility requirements of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. Graduates are well prepared to be contributing members of the health care team in a hospital environment, academic institution, community healthcare facility or private practice. This program commences on July 1 of each year.

If you have any further questions, please contact the email stated above, or Program Director, Dr. Daniel Kane at Daniel.Kane@nyumc.org.

Curriculum

The program revolves around both well children and those who are medically compromised, physically, mentally or developmentally challenged, or those impacted negatively by myriad social determinants of health. Graduates are well prepared to be contributing members of the health care team in the hospital environment or community setting. The majority of the didactic curriculum is completed in the 1st year. 

First-year residents are assigned rotations in pediatric medicine, general anesthesia, emergency medicine and on-call services. The distance learning curriculum occurs via live video teleconferencing (VTC) and asynchronous web-based modules (Sakai). There are multidisciplinary and specialty-focused seminars with participation by general dentistry, endodontic, and dental anesthesia residents. Courses include: oral biology, pediatric anesthesia, physical diagnosis, medical emergency and behavioral management, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, craniofacial development and research methods and materials. Weekly literature review sessions prepare residents for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry written qualifying examination and oral boards.

During the 2nd year, residents may rotate through local Head Start/early child care centers or school-based programs to serve children in the community. As a merit-based enhancement and with prior approval, 2nd year residents may participate in a one-month resident exchange at another NYU Lutheran pediatric training site. 

Residents complete a research project which is presented at the AAPD Annual Session. They may also present cases and discuss treatment plan options via live VTC sessions. During the last months of training, residents may visit a number of private pediatric dental offices to observe, assess, and evaluate practice management methods and operations. 

Program graduates have attained leadership positions in pediatric pre-doctoral programs, pediatric residency programs, hospital dentistry, CHC’s, and in private practice.

Program Stipend and Tuition

The stipend for first-year residents is $63,592 plus fringe benefits. Second-year residents receive a stipend of $68,082 plus fringe benefits.

Fringe benefits per year include medical, dental and malpractice insurance, prescription plan and twenty days paid vacation, nine paid holidays, twelve paid sick days and four continuing education days. Additional $3,000 per year for the chief resident at each site.
