The Brooklyn Hospital Center
Excellence in patient care and commitment to the education of physicians and other healthcare professionals are among the proud traditions of The Brooklyn Hospital Center. In 1845 it opened its doors as the first voluntary hospital in the city of Brooklyn. Today, The Brooklyn Hospital Center is a 350-bed teaching institution that is a major healthcare resource as well as a dynamic presence in what is New York City's largest borough. The Brooklyn Hospital Center is an academic and clinical affiliate of the Mount Sinai Hospital Center and Icahn School of Medicine at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. Neighbor to Metrotech business complex and the Barclay's Center in downtown Brooklyn, and located just across the bridge from lower Manhattan, is the hospital’s downtown campus on Dekalb Avenue. Staffed by 3,000 Employees and a medical staff of 524 voluntary, 140 full-time and 115 part-time physicians, the hospital annually cares for more than 200,000 people, with approximately 25,000 inpatient admissions; more than 5,800 babies delivered; 95,000 outpatient visits; and 76,000 emergency room visits each year.

The Brooklyn Hospital Center is a 911 receiving hospital and a certified emergency cardiac-care facility. With full accredited, independent residency programs in Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Pediatrics, Pathology, Emergency Medicine, Family Practice, General Dentistry and Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, the hospital trains more than 250 physicians each year.

OMFS Program
The Brooklyn Hospital Center has a fully accredited four-year Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residency program that accepts three residents per year. The hospital also has fully accredited 1 and 2-year General Practice Dental Residency programs.

As of July 1, 2009, The Brooklyn Hospital Center's Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program has fully integrated three affiliated hospital rotations:

The Brooklyn VA Medical Center is a second year rotation with each Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Resident spending six months under the supervision of Dr. Michael Chan, Chief of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at the Brooklyn VA Medical Center.

Geisinger Medical Center, located in rural Pennsylvania, is a two hospital consortium with a level I trauma designation. During each year of residency, our Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery residents are assigned to a full time rotation under the supervision of Dr. Robert Pellechia, Chair of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery at the Geisinger Medical Center.

Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center, located in Bronx, NY, is a high volume, urban hospital with approximately 100,000 outpatient dental and OMFS visits seen per year. It is a state of the art institution with 5 full-time Oral and Maxillofacial Surgical attendings. Oral surgery residents will be assigned to full time rotations at this facility throughout their 4 years of training. The Dental program is chaired by Dr. Paul Gates, with Dr. Mark Brown as Chief of the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Non-categorical interns rotate at The Brooklyn Hospital Center and Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center

These external programmatic hospital affiliations help assure that our residents receive significant clinical exposure in all aspects of advanced Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery procedures under direct supervision of Board Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons.
