STATEN ISLAND UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL - DENTAL GPR​

15 Positions available for a first year general practice resident in the General Practice Residency Program in Dentistry at Staten Island University Hospital (Northshore/LIJ System) in Staten Island, New York.​

Staten Island University Hospital has 750+ beds and is a specialized teaching hospital located in New York City's 5th and fastest-growing borough.
Occupying two large campuses, plus a number of community-based health centers and labs, the hospital provides quality care to the people of Staten Island, the New York metropolitan region, and to patients from around the world. The 17-acre north campus (475 Seaview Avenue, Ocean Breeze) features the architecturally beautiful six-story Tower Pavilion; home of the renowned Heart Institute which rivals the best cardiac centers in the nation, and offers advanced cardiothoracic surgeries, including "continuous beating heart" surgery plus sophisticated invasive and non-invasive diagnostics.​

The dental program has been fully accredited since 1970 by the American Dental Association Council on Dental Education . Because the hospital is a major affiliate of the State University of New York Health Science Center and North Shore Health System, residents in General Practice Dentistry are integrated into the hospital's overall teaching program. This facilitates professional interactions and presents opportunities to fine tune clinical judgment. The general practice residency provides a broad range of experience dealing with the dental patient in both a clinical and didactic sense.The one-year experience and an optional second year, will provide the graduate resident with the confidence and experience necessary to comprehensively treat a diverse patient population.​

The caseload includes the hospitalized dental patient, a hospitalized medical patient with dental complications and a large ambulatory patient population that includes the "Intellectually and Developmentally Disabled" patient. Additionally, a significant percentage of well patients are treated in the ambulatory setting. Residents' activities include, but are not limited to, direct patient care. The direct care includes sections in periodontics, orthodontics, pedodontics, endodontics, removal prosthetics, fixed prosthetics, implant prosthetics, special care, cleft lip and palate team and oral and maxillofacial surgery. Each section is lead by a Board Certified or Board Eligible Specialist. Dental care is rendered 5 days a week in the Dental Care Center at 475 Seaview Avenue and the 57 Bay Street facility. During off hours in the hospital's Emergency Department emergency care is provided which serves Staten Island and Brooklyn as a designated trauma center.​

Dental residents provide 24-hour emergency coverage on a rotation basis.​

The dental resident rotates in the Emergency Department on a full-time basis, participating in the treatment of all types of medical and dental emergencies.
Residents gain experience in admission and discharge procedures, as well as in routine performance of histories and physicals on all admitted patients. Rotations are scheduled through the medical intensive care units and the medical ambulatory care units. The rotation programs are designed for residents to sharpen skills in physical evaluation and medicine.​

Dental residents attend inpatient rounds with the director and members of the attending staff daily.​

All residents rotate through the anesthesiology department, to learn the theory and the practice of pain control. program is in place for patients requiring general anesthesia for routine dental care. The program is especially important for children and for difficult patients. In these cases, anesthesia is administered in the surgical suites by anesthesiologists.​

General practice residents prepare for certification in advanced cardiac life support during the orientation period.​

Cleft lip and/or palate patients have the benefit of a team of specialists that include an oral surgeon, pediatric dentists and orthodontists, who carry out a birth-to-adulthood treatment plan with the hospital's speech therapists, pediatricians, plastic surgeons, social workers and geneticist.​

Dental procedures for cancer patients are carefully coordinated with members of the oncology team. Team members integrate the expertise of oral surgeons and prosthodontists, creating an environment in which the most up-to-date reconstructions can be attempted.​

An effort is made to assign one to two such special study cases to each resident during the year. Sophisticated interventions for special cases, e.g. (complex fixed and/or removable prosthetic cases, amelogenesis imperfecta, children born with no tooth enamel) are treated as special case studies and serve as models for therapies that involve cost beyond the family's means.​

The General Practice Resident Program is supported by over 30 dental attendings (ratio of 1:3 floor supervision), 15 GPR chief residents and 2 second-year residents.​

We also have a Pediatric Resident Program (6 residents), and an OMFS chief resident (from Kings County), dental hygienist, an administrative director, resident coordinator, dental practice coordinator, 2 dental care coordinators, 18 dental assistants, 15 registrars and 2 financial coordinators.​

SIUH participates in the PASS application and MATCH. Direct appliaction may also be considered.​
