Medical/Research Interests: Resident education, simulation

Personal Interests: Family, basketball, various outdoor sports 

About the Residency: The residency program here in Buffalo provides a friendly, well-balanced training experience in all aspects of Emergency Medicine.  In addition to traditional patient care activities, residents will be exposed to some of the newer technologies in our specialty like  ultrasound, telemedicine, and simulation.  Our residents have an opportunity to get pre-hospital care experience as a member of the Specialized Medical Assistance Response Team (SMART), which was created to respond to disasters and special situations in the community that require on-scene medical direction.  When residents graduate from the program here, they are well prepared to practice Emergency Medicine in a variety of settings.

About Buffalo: I am not a native, but since moving here to Western New York from Colorado, Buffalo has really grown on me.  I have realized that this city and the surrounding Western New York area has a lot to offer.  And, contrary to popular belief, the weather here is really not that bad.  The summers are very mild, the fall foliage is spectacular, and the winters are not as cold and snowy as people might think.

Editor's Note: Dr. Brown excelled as a medical student, resident, and Chief Resident. She represents the best of the new generation of emergency physicians.
