Overview

 

Welcome to our web site, the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Department of Family Medicine Office of Medical Student Education. Our directors and staff are committed to the highest standards for teaching and learning clinical Family Medicine. Family physician faculty are active teachers in all four years of medical school education. Courses administered by the Office of Medical Student Education include The Clinical Practice of

Medicine (CPM) Year One; Third Year Clerkship in Family Medicine; and electives in Primary Ambulatory Care, Sub-Internship, Independent Study, Research, Cross-Cultural Medicine, and Faith in Medicine. We are proud to contribute to the students’ journey of becoming compassionate and skilled physicians.

Our program also offers a paid eight week summer research opportunity for first year UB medical students. Students are paired with a family medicine sponsor to assist with the various stages of the faculty research project; i.e., develop survey instruments, data collection and analysis, project presentation, and preparation and submission of manuscripts.

Medical students can become a member of the Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG), a student directed organization that fosters interest in the discipline by sponsoring activities which promote awareness, serve the community, and enhance education.

The Office of Medical Student Education is under the direction of:

Andrew Symons, MD Interim Vice Chair for Medical Student Education Course Director, CPM Year One

David Holmes, MD Director, Family Medicine Clerkship


Karen Devlin Program Coordinator

Nicole Eckrote A.A.S. Administrative Assistant for Medical Student Education
Coordinator, Family Medicine Clerkship
and CPM Year One
