Your PGY-3 sets the stage for your independent practice of medicine.
You’ll enhance your ambulatory care skills in clinical rotations that primarily address health concerns common to outpatients.
Many of these rotations — including pediatrics, dermatology, orthopaedics and surgical subspecialties — take place in community practices, where you’ll work one-on-one with regional specialists caring for a high volume of patients.
You’ll continue spending three half-days per week at Universal Primary Care, site of your family medicine center. We keep your days in your family medicine center consistent throughout residency, allowing you to strengthen your clinical rapport with patients who come to know you as their family physician and focus your energy on continuity of care.
You’ll also take up to 12 weeks of electives. You may choose from both our rural program’s elective schedule or those offered in Buffalo.
