New York - Metropolitan - NYU Langone Hospital- Long Island - GPR

In July 2021, NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island’s General Practice Residency (GPR) Program became part of NYU Langone Dental Medicine.  Dr. Babak Bina, General Practice Residency Program Director for the Brooklyn site now oversees both locations. 

The merger of NYU Winthrop Hospital with NYU Langone Health solidifies the hospital’s full integration into one of the country’s premier healthcare systems.  In a press release published November 9, 2020, NYU Langone Health’s NewsHub noted, NYU Winthrop Hospital will change its name to NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island continuing to foster its rich traditions of providing first-rate healthcare to local Long Island communities, while leveraging NYU Langone’s strengths to ensure delivery of world-class services in every specialty.

The NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island Department of Dentistry offers a comprehensive GPR Program.  Nine positions are available for one-year of postgraduate education and training. Residents treat children and adults with complex medical/special needs.  They complete three rotations during residency spending two weeks in Internal Medicine, Anesthesiology, and the emergency room.  GPR residents are also exposed to a simulation center in the hospital’s Research and Academic Center.  Simulation enhances the educational offerings by providing an experiential learning environment where dental residents can practice a variety of technical and behavioral skills.
