The State University of New York (SUNY) is the largest university system in the world.  The University at Buffalo (or "UB" as it is popularly known) is the most comprehensive unit of the state university system.  SUNY at Buffalo offers 93 undergraduate, 112 masters and 98 doctoral degree programs, as well as four professional degree programs and 14 graduate certificates.  SUNY at Buffalo has the largest undergraduate/graduate and professional school enrollment within the SUNY system, with approximately 25,000 students.
      The "North campus" in the adjacent suburb of Amherst is the location of most undergraduate and graduate programs including the Schools of Law, Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Pharmacy.  UB has the distinction of being both a university center and a complete health sciences center with Schools of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Nursing and Health-Related Professions.  The Health Sciences division, including the School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, is located on the "Main Street campus" in Buffalo.
      The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences was founded in 1846 by Millard Fillmore, and the school was privately supported until joining the SUNY system together with its parent university, the University of Buffalo in 1962.  The School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences admits 135 medical students and up to five M.D./Ph.D. combined degree students annually.
      Each resident is granted a faculty appointment in the Medical School as an Assistant Clinical Instructor in Psychiatry.  In addition to collaboration with other health sciences and medical school departments, residents are encouraged to collaborate with departments inside and out of the School of Medicine.
