NYU Langone Pediatric Dentistry Program

The NYU Langone Pediatric Dentistry program is a two year post doctorate program specializing in dentistry for children. We have residents in Hawaii participating in the LEND Program. Funded under the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Bureau, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration, the Hawaii MCH LEND prepares health professionals for leadership roles to improve supports and services for children with special health needs and their family members. Children with special health care needs (CSHCN) are children with disabilities or those at risk of neurodevelopmental delays, including intellectual and developmental disabilities (formerly known as mental retardation), multiple handicaps, and other chronic illnesses and/or health conditions. The Hawaii MCH LEND Program is a part of a National Network of maternal-child health leadership education training programs in neurodevelopmental disabilities.
