What is a unique feature of your program? 

We rotate through six different emergency departments, which provide exposure to patients with a broad array of pathologies and socioeconomic statuses. These hospitals include a Level 1 trauma center, a comprehensive tertiary care center that acts as both a stroke and a STEMI center, a comprehensive children’s hospital, a Veterans Affairs medical center, a busy community hospital, and a small rural emergency department. Being in different emergency departments adds an extra layer to residency training that allows residents to be ready for any job opportunity.

What is so great about living in Buffalo?

We have a lot of outdoor activities including hiking, camping, and water sports. The city has plenty of culture, including unique artwork scattered across the city along with local Buffalo traditions and food. We are also very close to Canada.

How do residents survive the winter? 

Ice skating, skiing/snowboarding, rock climbing, and hanging out with co-residents. There are plenty of local breweries to explore!

What is your fondest memory from your time as residency director?

When faculty tried to shield residents from intubations at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, residents banded together and insisted that they be responsible for caring for every patient and every detail, no matter the risk. Just awesome.
