Dana Watanabe, MD
Class of 2007

Current Position: Attending Physician, Queen's Medical Center, Honolulu, Hawaii. Queen's Medical Center is a group practice in a busy trauma, tertiary care facility

About Residency: I gained  experience in blunt and penetrating trauma and many procedures. Unlike many other programs, SUNY at Buffalo residents train in various practice settings, including rural and urban. But perhaps the thing I enjoyed the most were my classmates, other staff and attendings. It was a down to earth group of people.

About Buffalo: The cost of living is low and the people are friendly. My husband and I miss the freshwater fishing, the drive-in theaters, minimal traffic, Target and Wegmans.

Additional Comments: The SUNY at Buffalo Emergency Medicine Residency Program is capable of getting you a job ANYWHERE!
