SUNY at Buffalo
Residency Program in Emergency Medicine


 


Clinical Rotations

During the three years of residency training at SUNY at Buffalo, residents spend a lot of their time in the ED, although during their first and second year they complement their ED training by rotating on other specialty services in a wide variety of hospital settings. This better prepares the resident for future employment in various practices and environments.

Residents also rotate with SMART (Specialized Medical Assistance Response Team). This prehospital care team supplements the regional emergency medical services, fire and law enforcement agencies in the response to prolonged or unusual out-of-hospital patient situations.

Clinical curriculum is reinforced by weekly conference. All didactic activities are on the same day, and residents are excused from clinical activities to participate.
