About the Residency: The multiple
training sites affords a unique and diverse patient population that
covers the entire breadth of emergency medicine from the minor to the
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.
