Our Residents


Preliminary Surgery Residents Class of 2017

Kristina Piastro, M.D.

I am delighted to return to Albany Medical Center to pursue residency training in Otolaryngology. Having spent time here as a student volunteer prior to medical school, I am amazed at how much AMC has grown, and am looking forward to being a part of its further expansion. Intern year will offer many learning opportunities that I will take with me as I transition to the Otolaryngology service next
year. I remain interested in both academic and clinical medicine, research endeavors, and delving into all that our field has to offer. I hope to continue these pursuits over the next five years of training
and beyond.
