The Montefiore Medical Center Residency in Pediatric Dentistry is a hospital-based program that offers an unusually broad exposure to all components of pediatric dentistry. In addition to providing general dental care for the Department’s young patients, you will gain extensive experience in providing care for developmentally disabled and medically compromised children and adolescents. The primary emphasis through all of these activities is to integrate clinical experience with didactic knowledge.
You will receive extensive exposure to all aspects of pediatric dental care including well children, developmentally disabled children, minor and major dental trauma, enteral sedation, IM/IV sedation, orthodontics and operating room experience. The didactic portion of the program includes lectures, seminars, hospital rotations and adjunctive continuing education courses. You will have lectures in such topics as pediatric dentistry; growth and development; interceptive orthodontics; preventive dentistry; pediatric physical diagnosis; sedation techniques; oral pathology; biostatistics; epidemiology; special patient care and practice management.
Hospital rotations in pediatric medicine, pediatric emergency department and anesthesia will serve to integrate you into the hospital mainstream.
You will participate in a bimonthly, multi-disciplinary conference at the Center for Craniofacial Disorders. Residents and faculty from other hospital specialties such as oral maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, plastic surgery, otorhinolaryngology, pediatric medicine, speech pathology, genetics and psychology also participate in these conferences.
Pediatric dentistry is one of five postgraduate programs in the Department of Dentistry at Montefiore Medical Center. As such, you will have a large number of dental specialists and support personnel with whom you may consult in the treatment of cases requiring a multi-disciplinary approach.
Your rotation at the Rose F. Kennedy Center will emphasize comprehensive dental care for infants, children, adolescents and adults with physical, developmental, language and learning disabilities. You will be called upon to manage medically complex and behaviorally difficult patients using advanced treatment modalities, including intramuscular and intravenous sedations.
