Through these academic pursuits, he developed a profound interest in medicine and surgery.
Dr. Hur continued his post-doctoral work in New York, where he received his medical degree (MD) from Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. He then completed a competitive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Columbia University Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital, which is consistently ranked in the top 10 hospitals nationally by the U.S. News and World Report. His training involved a fully integrated General Surgery preliminary internship with focused rotations in plastic/reconstructive surgery, trauma, anesthesia, and maxillofacial oncologic surgery. He then concluded his training at NYP Hospital/NYP-Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital where he completed his intensive full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery training.
