Why Choose Our Residency Program?

Dedicated Faculty

Our faculty are ABIM-certified, clinically active physicians who are dedicated to the education of our residents. They will work with you closely, from direct observation and feedback at the bedside, to advising you on your educational goals, patient care and scholarship. Many conduct clinical translational research and act as mentors to residents interested in doing the same.

We have made a commitment to have core faculty certified as medical educators through the Faculty Educator Program. We also review and revise our curriculum on an ongoing basis, taking into account residents’ feedback, exam pass rates and rotation evaluation reports.

Cosmopolitan Training Environment

Our large program size and diversity of training sites give you wide-ranging experience delivering care. You will work as a part of collaborative health care teams and develop adaptable skills in large hospitals and small clinics throughout the Buffalo area.

We meet or exceed ACGME standards throughout our program, giving you a solid grounding in the core competencies. In addition, our electives make our residents outstanding candidates for fellowships and clinical practice.

Excellent Career Outcomes
