Family Medicine Residency
|
Albany Medical College is proud to announce |
Residency Program Director
If you are passionate about learning, a team player who enjoys challenges, caring and fun loving our Program is for you. We are dually accredited, in an academic health center and use a community hospital for most inpatient care, have new clinical offices, EMRs and onsite PharmD services. Our uniqueness is our resident/faculty camaraderie, excellence in teaching, strong practice management curriculum, and community outreach services. Personal and professional satisfaction is our goal. Graduates have gone on to great accomplishments in academia, sports medicine, womens health, rural, inner-city, group and solo practices.
Our Program has unique features that distinguish it from other university or community family medicine residency programs. We invite you to interview and see our superb Family Medicine Center, our excellent residents and diverse faculty, the superior learning environment, and the beautiful, safe area of Upstate New York that offers abundant outdoor activities.
We benefit educationally from the Albany Medical Center, a regional academic health sciences center that recognizes the importance of Family Medicine in medical education and residency training. Family physicians tend to admit their patients to community hospitals and our residents get half of their hospital in-patient rotations at an outstanding 447-bed academic community hospital, St. Peter's Hospital. Our residency program also offers a rare educational opportunity because of our affiliation with the Albany College of Pharmacy. We have a professor from the Albany College of Pharmacy as a drug information resource for residents and faculty, as well as Pharm.D. candidates and fifth-year pharmacy students rotating in our office. Our residents are exposed to rural medical practices to appreciate the difference from the medical care in the city of Albany. I don't think you will find many other university Family Medicine residency programs that can offer you such diversity. Resident graduates from our program are prepared to practice in any geographical area of the country in whatever practice environment they choose. There is an abundance of Family Medicine opportunities in the area, and I am delighted that many of our graduates have settled in the vicinity. Albany is three hours north of New York City, three hours west of Boston and four hours south of Montreal, offering a great many urban and rural activities.
In the Department of Family and Community Medicine (residents, faculty and support staff) there is a sense of "family." It is common to see a resident's child at morning report sessions. As the Residency Program Director, I strive to be as approachable, supportive and flexible as possible in meeting residents' educational and personal needs. I hope you will consider joining us.
