Overview
The Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program is a four-year educational experience designed to prepare physicians for a career in providing medical care to both adults and children. Most graduates pursue careers in primary care, but some undertake further training in subspecialties such as rheumatology, infectious diseases, and endocrinology.
All aspects of this program are fully integrated into Internal Medicine Categorical Program and the SUNY at Buffalo Pediatrics Residency Program. Each training year is broken down into three to six module blocks, alternating between medicine and pediatrics. The duration of these blocks was chosen to allow for sufficient time in each specialty so that one can experience a sense of continuity and growth. Graduates of this program are eligible to sit for board-certifying examinations in both Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
