James M. Rozanski Dental Residency Program
Tucked beside the Mohawk River, the James M. Rozanski Dental Residency Program turns freshly-minted American dentists into battle-ready clinicians.

In just twelve intensive months, this Oriskany crucible transforms textbook knowledge into confident, hand-speedy expertise that defines dentistry practiced across the United States today.

What makes the James M. Rozanski Dental Residency Program attractive to foreign-trained dentists seeking U.S. licensure?
The program delivers a CODA-accredited one-year general-practice residency inside the Mohawk Valley Health System, giving residents 1,900+ clinical hours supervised by board-certified faculty, which satisfies most state boards’ requirements for clinical proficiency and is widely accepted as a pathway to U.S. licensure.
Where is the residency physically delivered and how many patient visits are handled during the year?
Training is delivered at the MVHS Family medicine building located at 1714 Burrstone Rd, New Hartford, NY 13413, a modern 24-operatory facility equipped with CAD/CAM, CBCT, and sedation suites; participants treat a diverse patient pool, averaging 2,400 visits within their residency year.
How competitive is the application process and what exams must be passed before applying?
Competition is strong—only four postgraduate residents are selected annually—so applicants need an acceptable score on either the TOEFL or IELTS, completion of INBDE, credentials evaluated by ECE or WES, and at least two letters of recommendation demonstrating clinical competency.
What is the salary and benefit package for residents and how does it compare with regional living costs?
Each resident receives an annual stipend of $58,000, full medical and dental coverage, 3 weeks’ paid leave, and a CME allowance of $1,500; because Central New York has living costs 12% below the national average, the stipend is generally sufficient to cover housing, transportation, and licensing fees.
