Do the residents complete med school remotely in NY or at LSU?

The Mount Sinai Hospital Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency is a six-year integrated program. Upon acceptance, the resident is expected to devote the next six years to the task of successfully earning a medical degree from LSU and an OMS certificate from The Mount Sinai Hospital. After receiving their medical degree, and prior to completion of the residency program, the resident will be required to complete a year of general surgery enabling them to obtain a medical license.

The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Training Program at the Mount Sinai Health System seeks to provide the best possible training and education in the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, with a commitment to academic excellence and the highest quality patient care. The training program aspires to have graduates who are enthusiastic about their career in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and are committed to continued learning, as well as being highly skilled and compassionate surgeons. The program seeks to maintain faculty and affiliations that achieve the training program objectives and meet all accreditation standards for Advanced Specialty Education in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Mount Sinai Beth israel (MSBI) is another 6 year OMFS in NY that is different from what I'll call Mount Sinai proper (the Mount Sinai program that does med school in LA). MSBI covers two sites-- Jacobi in The Bronx and Beth Israel in Manhattan. MSBI is associated with Albert Einstein med school in The Bronx. The program has a really wide scope and they do a lot of trauma, orthognathics, dentoalveolar, cancer and cosmetics. Drs. Buchbinder, Turner and Lieberman were all very approachable and welcomed me in the OR with them.

The clinic at Jacobi gives residents a great opportunity to hone their skills for working in private practice-- extractions, sedations and implants galore. They are also given a lot of freedom to introduce new treatment options that they are interested in doing. For example, one resident had an interest in placing zygomatic implants and they were able to do quite a few in the clinic. Another resident with an interest in cosmetics revived the cosmetic clinic with Botox, Restalyne and soon Kybella injections. Unlike other more attending run programs, at Jacobi the chief and senior cases were cutting >90% of the cases, even attendings' private patients.

At BI the cases are mostly pathology- both benign and malignant, salivary gland and TMJ cases. The benefit of the two sites is that it gives you the best of both types of programs- resident and attending driven. Just wanted to plug it here under the mount sinai umbrella because its a great program and definitely worth looking into.
