Meet Omar Jack, DO, Anesthesiology Resident
Can you tell us a bit about your background?
I was born on the island of Jamaica, but I considered the island of Oahu, Hawaii, my hometown. That’s where I resided prior to starting the medical school journey.
I did undergrad at University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, majoring in biology. Then I also completed a master’s in physician assistant studies.
Why did UB’s anesthesiology residency appeal to you?
On reviewing residency programs, UB was touted as one of the oldest programs in the country with a proven track record.
Are there aspects of our anesthesiology residency you particularly enjoy?
I like the exposure to a diverse patient population and copious amounts of opportunities to practice my craft between five different hospitals.
How do you feel about living in Buffalo, NY?
Buffalo is a lot colder than Hawaii, but it does have an assortment of restaurants and activities. I like the proximity to Canada and the ability to explore Niagara and Toronto.
