Overview
Thank you for your interest in the Nova Southeastern University (NSU) – Broward Health Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery program. Established in 2004 by Dr. Steven Kaltman, now the Dean of NSU, our program has a distinguished reputation for excellence in clinical training and patient care. As we transition to a 6-year MD program beginning in 2024, we remain dedicated to our highly regarded 4-year program through 2026.
Our clinical training is designed to inspire and challenge, offering a comprehensive experience that starts with exclusive responsibility for facial trauma at two Level I centers. Our fellowship-trained faculty in maxillofacial oncology and reconstructive surgery provide comprehensive care for benign and malignant conditions. The outpatient dentoalveolar and implant surgery programs, led by faculty with deep real-world practice insights, offer a robust foundation. Our revitalized TMJ program, coupled with formal rotations in cosmetic surgery, further enriches the clinical experience. Orthognathic surgical training is complemented by our advanced sleep surgery treatment center, where procedures such as nasal and palate surgeries, hypoglossal nerve stimulation, and sleep endoscopy expand surgical competency. Supported by academic programs including didactic meetings and orthognathic treatment planning conferences, our curriculum cultivates technical expertise and professional growth.
We are committed to developing the next generation of leaders in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Our graduates are prepared to excel in a contemporary full-scope practice and achieve specialty board certification. Those seeking further sub-specialization will find mentorship from our fellowship-trained faculty.
At NSU-Broward OMFS, we uphold the highest standards of safety and professionalism, adhering strictly to OSHA regulations. Applicants must be graduates of accredited dental schools in the United States or Canada. Canadian candidates are required to obtain the TN NAFTA Professionals Visa, while U.S. candidates must have permanent residency.
