During your PGY-2 year, all of your clinical rotations take place in Olean, as does your longitudinal outpatient experience in your family medicine center.

As you expand upon your clinical skill base, your rotations will underscore the needs of medically underserved populations, thereby enhancing your cultural competency.

Trained by faculty including three family practitioners certified in surgical obstetrics, you’ll gain rich experience in women’s health care during your gynecology and obstetrics rotations. During your ICU rotation, you’ll admit patients and formulate their medical plans with full-time intensivists. During your surgery rotation, you’ll serve as first or second assistant on every case.

The other second-year rotations that take place at Olean General Hospital are behavioral medicine, ICU, emergency medicine, pediatrics and the family medicine inpatient service.

You’ll also begin taking four weeks of electives this year. Our offerings allow you to enhance your skills and explore areas of interest with training guided by our region’s most respected specialists.

Additionallly, you may use this time to take any electives or rotations offered in Buffalo through our urban residency.
