The city and surrounding suburbs are full of things to do. Coming to Buffalo at the beginning of summer was great because of the warm weather and festivals - it was a nice way to start residency.

I went to medical school here About the Residency: This program gives us a wide variety of experiences in different emergency department settings. It makes you a well rounded physician that can take care of anything that rolls through your ED doors. You definitely will know what setting you will want to work in when you're done. The EM residency program is also very responsive to its residents' needs/wants/suggestions. We definitely are well cared for! About Buffalo: I'm a lifer! Born, raised, plan to stay in Buffalo to practice. I'm very active in the residency recruitment process because I want to spread my enthusiasm towards the area, and in particular this emergency medicine residency program. I think the area has something to offer everyone. Whether you are like me and enjoy the outdoors and country setting (I live 40 minutes south of the city on a small farm), or city living, you can find it here. Your paycheck will go a lot farther here than just about anywhere else. 20 minutes or less to just about anywhere in the city...theater, dining, professional sports (NHL hockey, NFL football, AAA baseball), shopping, skiing, the list goes on and on.
