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.
