The OMFS Program at Ascension Macomb-Oakland in Detroit, MI is currently accepting applications for non-categorical spots for the upcoming year.

The PGY1 residents are away at medical school for most of the year so the non-cats function essentially as the PGY1s. Many of the current residents in the program also completed a non-categorical year at the program.

Please message me if you have any questions about the program or if you would like for me to point you in the right direction to apply for the position.

Mount Sinai / Jacobi Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Internship Opportunity



We have a few spots remaining!



July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026


The Mount Sinai Hospital / Jacobi Medical Center / Albert Einstein College of Medicine Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program annually offers several OMFS internship positions. These one-year positions are designed for the candidates that are genuinely interested in pursuing an OMFS residency and would like to experience a full scope OMFS residency.

Duties will include: clinic coverage, on call coverage, ER, OR and inpatient management of OMFS patients. Interns will also attend all didactic lectures and conferences. Our interns will work side by side with our OMFS residents and attending surgeons. Our OMFS residency is a 6-year program with 4 resident positions per year.



There are three distinct intern tracks:

Jacobi Medical Center / North Central Bronx / Mount Sinai West

Jacobi Medical Center and North Central Bronx Hospital (NCB) where the intern will spend the majority of his/her time, encompasses a busy Level 1 Trauma Center in the eastern Bronx. Additionally, our interns will spend approximately 2 months in Manhattan at the Mount Sinai West Hospital. At Jacobi and NCB we have 2 busy outpatient clinics. Our department (GPR, pediatric dentistry, and OMFS) manages over 35,000 out-patient visits per year.


The Mount Sinai Hospital / Elmhurst Hospital Center

The Mount Sinai Hospital is on the Upper East Side of Manhattan and Elmhurst Hospital Center is the major tertiary care provider in the borough of Queens. The interns will divide their time between these two sites. Both sites provide substantial in-patient and out-patient oral and maxillofacial surgery experiences.


James J. Peters Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (Bronx VA)

The James J. Peters VA Medical Center is a tertiary care 378 bed in and outpatient facility located in the west Bronx that serves the health care needs of veterans in the New York Metropolitan area. The Bronx VA treats approximately 26,000 veterans annually and has an on-site general practice residency in dentistry that is sponsored by the Mount Sinai School of Medicine’s Department of Dentistry.

Our interns are an integral part of the OMFS team. Many of our past interns were successful in matching with programs immediately following completion of the internship. Successful candidates will be bright, self-motivated and eager to become part of a dynamic OMFS team. Additionally, they must have completed at least a PGY-1 GPR or AEGD before the start of the program. The OMFS internships are fully funded positions. Salaries start at the PGY-2 level.

Interested parties should email their CV to our internship director ([email protected]), Dr. Kerry McEntee.

Ascension Macomb-Oakland Non-Categorical Position

The PGY1 residents are away at medical school for most of the year so the non-cats function essentially as the PGY1s. This is a great year to gain valuable hands-on experience.

Many of the current residents in the program also completed a non-categorical year at the program. Previous non-cats have a great track record of matching within the program or elsewhere.

Main hospitals: Ascension (Now Henry Ford after acquisition) St. John in Detroit, MI and Ascension Macomb-Oakland in Warren, MI.

Our outpatient clinic is located in Detroit, MI. Non-categorical residents play an active and hands-on role in running the clinic, as the PGY1 residents spend the vast majority of their time away in medical school.

II. Covering the outpatient sedation center, completing more complicated procedures under moderate/deep intravenous sedation, and assisting with the sedation itself.
III. Taking dental and facial trauma call at Temple University Hospital in North Philadelphia (Level I Trauma Center). The call is busy, but is split with Plastics, ENT, and a separate 4 Year OMFS program, so it is not as frequent, offering interns more time for studying.
IV. Managing hospital inpatient care and prerounding/rounding.
V. Participation in all didactic activities, including attending weekly lectures, case presentations/case review, grand rounds, and scholarly activity.
VI. Second and First-Assisting on OR cases at the hospital. Given the nature of the program with one resident per year and incomplete coverage at times; there will be opportunities for the interns to first-assist with the attending on larger cases, offering a unique experience at the intern level.

How does GME differ from funding by the school?

How does GME differ from funding by the school?
Click to expand...
GME funding originates from the federal government and may have limitations on the number of resident positions (PGY) they can support. If you participate in a GME-funded internship, the hospital (specifically in a categorical residency program) has to start you at the PGY2 salary level when you match for your categorical spot.

Non-GME programs do not rely on federal government funding. This allows them to hire you as a PGY1 directly into their residency program, potentially making you a more attractive candidate alongside your other accomplishments.
Hope this helps!
 
OMFS Internship at UMKC School of Dentistry

The UMKC School of Dentistry in Kansas City, Missouri, is seeking to fill one non-categorical internship position for the upcoming year. Non-categorical interns hold the same responsibilities as categorical interns, including:

• Running the OMFS clinic at the UMKC School of Dentistry

• Taking in-house call at Truman Medical Center and Children’s Mercy Hospital

• Covering trauma and dental cases 24/7, 365 days a year at both hospitals (OMFS does not share responsibilities with ENT or Plastics)

• Assisting in the operating room

• Participating in weekly lectures and a monthly journal club

Past Intern Experience:
“I recently completed a non-categorical internship at the dental school. I left feeling comfortable with interpreting CT scans, repairing complex facial and scalp lacerations, performing bedside I&Ds of dental infections and PTAs, managing facial fractures, placing patients in MMF with ivy loops or arch bars, and performing dentoalveolar procedures (including extractions of impacted teeth, alveoloplasty, socket preservation, tori removal, and soft tissue reductions). The culture is incredible, and I made lifelong friends in the short time I was there.”

Past interns have been successful in securing numerous interviews, with plenty of experiences to discuss, and ultimately matching with excellent programs.

If interested, please send your CV and CBSE score (if taken) to Solon Kao at [email protected]. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or green card holders and must qualify for a Missouri Dental License.

Hi, is there a chance to sponsor a visa. I do have an outstanding application
 
I feel like I’m falling behind in this process. My interest in OMFS developed during my third year, but I hadn’t originally planned to specialize due to health challenges during my D1/D2 years. As a result, I’m not in the top 10% of my class. Have I missed the mark for non-categorical spots, or are there still opportunities available? If anyone knows of any open positions, I would be incredibly grateful for the information.


Since Match Day, I’ve been actively reaching out to programs but haven’t been able to establish connections or find information about openings

The OMFS Program at Ascension Macomb-Oakland in Detroit, MI is currently accepting applications for non-categorical spots for the upcoming year.

The PGY1 residents are away at medical school for most of the year so the non-cats function essentially as the PGY1s. Many of the current residents in the program also completed a non-categorical year at the program.

Please message me if you have any questions about the program or if you would like for me to point you in the right direction to apply for the position.

This position is perfect for those who are interested in OMFS, wish to improve their surgical skills, and looking to build their CV for residency applications. Non-categorical interns function and have the same responsibilities as categorical interns. Duties include:
  • Q4-10 primary call (usually Q7), rotate facial trauma every third week (with ENT and Plastics) while covering 2 level 1 trauma centers (Parkland and Children’s Medical Center of Dallas)
  • Assisting in the operating room
  • Running the outpatient clinic (extractions, biopsies, pre-prosthetic surgery, sedations, botox/fillers, OR pre- and post-op)
  • Rounding and managing in-patients
This is a paid position with an annual salary of $70,101 paid out in bi-weekly increments. Health benefits available through Parkland/UTSW.

Parkland is a very self-directed and resident-run program. We have a day of academics on Wednesdays where upper-level residents, faculty, and guest lecturers present on various topics. Additionally, there are Dental Implantology and the Business of OMFS lectures scattered throughout the month.

If interested, please contact Anita Olmedo listed below.
