Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery - Externships
The Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency Program at Beth Israel Medical Center/ Jacobi Medical Center/ Albert Einstein College of Medicine offers externships, open to current students of accredited United States or Canadian dental or medical schools.

The OMFS residency program spans two institutions, Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, NY, and Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, New York. Student externships can be arranged at one or both institutions.

Depending on previous dental school clinical experience/ competency, visiting dental students may participate in patient care in a “Hands-On” capacity. Those students lacking prior clinical experience may be observers only and may not participate in hands-on patient care including dental assisting.

If you wish to be considered as a visiting dental or medical student, please complete and return the following:
  • A current curriculum vitae
  • Two letters recommendation
  • A letter from your School verifying that you are in good standing and that this is approved as part of your curriculum
  • Documentation of health insurance coverage during your planned visit
  • Proof of required immunizations
No housing is provided for visiting students. Visiting students will need to make their own housing arrangements. All expenses involved in the externs stay will be the responsibility of the extern.

Due to the high volume of applicants for the externship position, and time for processing of paperwork, submit applications no less than 2 months prior to desired rotation start-date. Institutions that have prior arrangements with Jacobi Medical Center or Beth Israel Hospitals can usually be accommodated within 2 months. Institutions sponsoring externs with no prior arrangement need to complete a rotation agreement HERE prior to any externship. Please mail all your documentation with the completed forms to:
