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

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Internship Opportunity


July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027


We are now accepting applications for internships to begin next July.


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 accepts 4 residents per year (we have 2 6-year positions and 2 4-year positions annually).



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.
