Larry Cunningham Jr. was recently named the next chair of oral and maxillofacial surgery and associate dean for hospital affairs at the School of Dental Medicine and UPMC. He also will serve as interim program director for the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program.
Cunningham, a native of Texas, comes to Pitt after an 18-year career at the University of Kentucky, where he served as professor and chief of the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.
“Pitt Dental Medicine is exceptionally fortunate to recruit someone of his caliber, ethics and commitment,” said Dean Bernard J. Costello. “Dr. Cunningham is well known for his loyalty, problem-solving capabilities, passion for education and masterful clinical skills.”
Cunningham received his doctorate in dental surgery from the University of Texas at San Antonio and then obtained his MD and residency certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery from the training program at Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas.
