Meet Farrah Mawani Lamboy, MD ’25, Psychiatry Resident
Farrah Mawani Lamboy, MD ’25, is a trainee in the psychiatry residency program.
She grew up in Cidra, Puerto Rico and completed her undergraduate studies at Cornell University before earning her medical degree at the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo.
What specific attributes about UB’s psychiatry residency program appealed to you the most?
The range of clinical exposure was a major draw — from inpatient to outpatient and everything in between, the program covers a breadth that's hard to match.
But what really sealed it was the faculty. I wanted to train under people who see psychiatry as more than just diagnosis and treatment, and here I found mentors who bring a genuine appreciation for the complexity of the human experience to their work.
Did the fact that you earned your MD at UB influence your decision to do your residency here in any way?
Absolutely. Being familiar with the institution, the faculty, and the patient population made me confident that the residency program would be a strong fit.
Are there aspects of our psychiatry residency that you particularly enjoy?
The breadth of training sites has been the highlight for me. Each setting brings a completely different patient population and set of challenges — from high-acuity emergency psychiatry to working with geriatric patients — which has pushed me to grow as a clinician in ways I didn't expect.
