With a strong sense of camaraderie, you will work side by side with our faculty of four board-certified family practitioners, two certified nurse midwives and one nurse practitioner as you develop both personally and professionally. We never lose sight of the fact that you are a unique person developing into a family practitioner, and we tailor our program to capitalize on your strengths and support your weaknesses. You will hone your skills further by actively teaching other residents and medical students from the State University of New York at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, and with 300 deliveries per year in our practice, your competency to practice obstetrics is assured.

The Universal Primary Care Family Medicine Center has over 6,900 square feet of space, including fourteen examination and treatment rooms, OB/GYN ultrasound and NST machines, a conference room, physician offices and library/instructional area. A telecommunications network links the Rural Campus with Buffalo’s medical school, hospitals and residency program for video conferences, medical imaging transmission, instant consultation and translation for non-English speaking patients. Patients are admitted to Olean General Hospital, a 186-bed institution. Our extensive program, with centers of care in Olean, Cuba and Houghton is truly a dynamic place to practice, grow and learn.
