Residency Training Tracks |

The
Family Medicine Residency Program of the University at Buffalo combines
the advantages of a large
university program and smaller community-based training sites. The
program includes five "tracks" (with different match numbers),
each with different outpatient Family Medicine Centers (FMC) and Family
Medicine Inpatient Service (FMIS) rotations (see chart below). In each track, residents spend part of every week throughout the three years doing their continuity outpatient training at their respective Family Medicine Center. At this center, residents spend increasing time through the three years following a panel of families, caring for all ages and a wide range of problems. They also do all of their 10 modules (1 module = 4 weeks) of Family Medicine Inpatient Service (FMIS) at the hospital affiliated with that Family Medicine Center (see chart below). All Family Medicine residents in the SUNY Buffalo program, regardless of which track they select, do exactly the same rotations for most of the remaining modules. That is, residents from all tracks do the same rotations at the same site for surgery, pediatrics, gynecology, etc. Since the SUNY at Buffalo program includes a consortium of Buffalo hospitals, our program can select the best of each specialty service from among the participating hospitals. Residents from all tracks also meet together regularly for residency-wide core curriculum teaching conferences. Please click on the name
of each Program Track to view additional information.
