STATEN ISLAND UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL - DENTAL RESIDENCY
12 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.

Staten Island /ˌstætən ˈaɪlənd/ is one of the five boroughs of New York City, in the U.S. state of New York, located in the southwest part of the city. Staten Island is separated from New Jersey by the Arthur Kill and the Kill Van Kull, and from the rest of New York by New York Bay. With a population of 468,730, Staten Island is the least populated of the boroughs but is the third-largest in area at 59 sq mi (153 km2).[1]

Today, freshwater and tidal wetlands, fields, birch thickets and a coastal oak maritime forest, as well as areas dominated by non-native plant species, are all within the boundaries of Fresh Kills. Already, many of the landscapes of Fresh Kills possess a stark beauty, with 360 degree, wide horizon views from the hills, over 300 acres (1.2 km2) of salt marsh and a winding network of creeks.

Demographics of Staten IslandAt the 2010 Census, there were 468,730 people living in Staten Island, which is an increase of 5.6% since the 2000 Census.
Staten Island is the only borough with a non-Hispanic White majority.
According to the 2010 Census, 64.0% of the population was non-Hispanic White, down from 79% in 1990,[31] 10.6% Black or African American, 0.4% American Indian and Alaska Native, 7.5% Asian, 0.2% from some other race (non-Hispanic) and 2.6% of two or more races. 17.3% of Staten Island's population was of Hispanic or Latino origin (of any race).
According to the 2009 American Community Survey, the borough's population was 75.7% White (65.8% non-Hispanic White alone), 10.2% Black or African American (9.6% non-Hispanic Black or African American alone), 0.2% American Indian and Alaska Native, 7.4% Asian, 0.0% Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander, 4.6% from Some other race, and 1.9% from Two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race made up 15.9% of the population.

Tourism on Staten IslandBorough President James Molinaro started a program to increase tourism on Staten Island. At the top of that program was a new website, visitstatenisland.com.
The tourism program also includes a "Staten Island Attractions" video that is aired in both the Staten Island and the Manhattan Whitehall ferry terminals, as well as informational kiosks at the terminals, which supply printed information on Staten Island attractions, entertainment and restaurants.
In 2012, plans were laid for a 625-foot Ferris wheel, the largest in the world, on the northeast waterfront, near the Saint George Ferry and Richmond County Bank Park, home of the Staten Island Yankees. Completion is slated for 2015,[39] even in the wake of Hurricane Sandy.[40]

TransportationThe Staten Island Ferry provides travel between lower Manhattan and the St. George Ferry Terminal.Staten Island is connected to New Jersey via three vehicular bridges and one railroad bridge. The Outerbridge Crossing to Perth Amboy, New Jersey is at the southern end of Route 440 and the Bayonne Bridge to Bayonne, New Jersey is at the northern end of Route 440, which continues into Jersey City, New Jersey. From the New Jersey Turnpike, the Goethals Bridge using I-278 connects to the Staten Island Expressway. The Arthur Kill Vertical Lift Railroad Bridge carries freight between the northwest part of the island and Elizabeth, New Jersey.
Unlike the other four boroughs of New York, but like many suburbs, Staten Island has no large, numbered grid system. New Dorp's grid has a few numbered streets but they do not intersect with any numbered avenues. Some neighborhoods, however, organize their street names alphabetically.
Staten Island is connected to Brooklyn via the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge using I-278, the Staten Island Expressway. Once in Brooklyn, I-278 becomes the Gowanus Expressway and then the Brooklyn Queens Expressway, providing access to Manhattan through various tunnels and bridges.
Staten Island was, at one point, concurrently home to the longest vertical lift bridge, steel arch bridge, and suspension bridge in the world; the Arthur Kill Bridge, Bayonne Bridge, and Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, respectively. The Arthur Kill Bridge still holds the title for longest vertical lift bridge, while the Bayonne and Verrazano bridges are now the 4th and 8th longest, in their respective categories.
The only pedestrian link to Staten Island is via a footpath on the Bayonne Bridge.
Staten Island is the most auto-centric borough in New York City, with only 18.4% of all households being autoless. Citywide, the rate is 55%.[50]
Public transportation on the island is limited to:
NYC Department of Transportation (Staten Island Ferry)
NYC Transit buses (local service on Staten Island and express service to Manhattan)
Staten Island Railway service from St. George to Tottenville
