available in most other programs.
About Buffalo: Buffalo's geographic setting on the Great Lakes at a
major international gateway contributes to the wealth of cultural,

unique character. After spending many years in the much larger, better

Board Certification:
Personal Interests: Running, traveling, and SCUBA diving
About the Residency: I both trained at University at Buffalo, and now work here as an attending so I have both perspectives on the program. The program here offers a unique opportunity to train at many sites, a trauma/burn center, an inner city hospital, a free standing children's hospital, as well as a few community ED's, which I think does more than prepare one for whatever they plan to do after residency. The attendings are easily approachable and eager to teach.
About Buffalo: Buffalo has been a great place to live. With the four seasons we enjoy there are plenty of activities to keep occupied, from the ski resorts in winter, to the free summer concerts in summer, it is never difficult to find something to do. The traffic here is minimal and everything is pretty much within a twenty minute drive. Buffalo is also a family friendly town.

He is co-author (along with Mike Heller) of 'Ultrasound in Emergency Medicine', the first textbook in the field and more recently the textbook 'Ultrasonography in Trauma: The FAST Exam' that published the ACEP. He authored the first study of the use of ultrasonography in blunt abdominal trauma by emergency physicians and the first emergency medicine study of the use of bedside ultrasound to evaluate abdominal pathology. In addition, he was an author of the first study of oximetry in pre-hospital care and of head cooling in cardiac arrest. Dr. Jehle helped bring the first computer- based LCD presentation to a national emergency medicine meeting. Residents in the program have the opportunity to learn sonography from a pioneer in the field who is also an excellent clinician and an effective leader."

critical. A dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department also has the
advantage of concentrating the pediatric experience, allowing the
residents to become comfortable with sick children in a short period of
time.
About Buffalo: Snow?
What snow? Believe it or not, we are not the snowiest place in the
U.S. - we just seem to have that reputation. There are a lot of
things to do, whether you have a family, are single, or are a couple.
There are many outdoor recreational activities available within a
reasonable distance from Buffalo. The professional sports teams,
theaters, and other events afford for a variety of activities.
Yes, there is a little time to enjoy them in residency! Many
residents live in the city of Buffalo, however, for those considering
the suburbs, the commute is quick and the "rush hour" is minimal
compared to a lot of other comparable-sized cities. I lived 13
miles from both main training sites and it would take no longer than a
half hour to get to work. The school systems are some of the best
in New York. I am a transplant here and am happy to raise my child
here.

Birthplace: Warsaw, New York
College: Houghton College

Residency: SUNY at Buffalo - Emergency Medicine 2008
(Chief Resident
2007-2008)
Board Certification: American Board of Emergency Medicine
Medical/Research Interests: Medical education, emergency department management and observation of TIAs, use of clinical decision rules in emergency medicine, public health
Personal Interests: I love music! I am a professional organist/pianist and singer. When not practicing medicine, I can frequently be found practicing music, attending concerts, or performing. I also love to travel, cook, and read. I have an interest in theology and am very active in my local church as well as in international missions.
About the Residency: I am a product of this residency, and proud to be a part of the faculty. A graduate of this residency program will feel comfortable and confident in almost any situation, since our residents manage almost every type of emergency (except perhaps high altitude sickness!) One of the strengths of this program is the opportunity to train in different hospitals with diverse patient populations - from the inner city hospitals to the trauma and pediatric centers, to community hospitals. We have it all, and we train our residents to be well-rounded emergency physicians.
About Buffalo: I have grown to love this city. I have lived within 2 hours of Buffalo my entire life, but since coming here for medical school I have grown in appreciation of what this region has to offer. I love music, and Buffalo doesn't disappoint! The philharmonic is world-class, the chamber music and various choirs are superb, and the HSBC arena and Darien Lakes Performing Arts Center are always hosting some of the greatest musicians in the world. For the sports enthusiast, we have the Bills, Sabres, Bandits, and Bisons to enjoy, and though there may be some "Buffalo curse" on those teams, it is still fun to be a part of a city that sticks behind their home-town teams. This region is incredible for year-round outdoors activities, and on those days when it is nicer to stay inside, the museums and restaurants are fantastic.
