Description

Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine and Stony Brook University Hospital are in the initial stages of launching an oral and maxillofacial surgery residency program and are seeking a self-motivated, forward thinking, academically-oriented and experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon to serve as its inaugural program director.

Stony Brook University Hospital (SBUH) is Long Island’s premier academic medical center. With 624 beds, SBUH serves as the region’s only tertiary care center and Level 1 Trauma Center, and is home to the Stony Brook Heart Institute, Stony Brook Cancer Center, Stony Brook Children’s Hospital and Stony Brook Neurosciences Institute.

The School of Dental Medicine (SDM) is the only dental school on Long Island, caring for patients from Brooklyn to the East end of Suffolk County – 80,000 patient visits per year.
