Quality of Life

n addition to its outstanding curriculum, the residency program offers the chance to live in one of the nation's most appealing regions. In fact, nearly 40% of all the physicians who train at the Medical Center ultimately choose to practice in the Capital Region.

With over twenty area colleges and universities--including a law school and a world-class engineering school-- the Capital Region is an intellectual center that attracts distinguished visitors from the worlds of science, politics, education, literature, and the performing arts. The area's collegiate atmosphere is also reflected by filled football stadiums, sold-out NCAA Division I hockey games, and an annual regatta that attracts New England's finest rowing teams.

The surrounding countryside is easily accessible for family outings, weekend get-aways, and year-round outdoor recreation. Individuals with more "sophisticated" tastes find the cultural environment equally as rich and equally as accessible.

Regardless of your religion, ethnicity, age, or interests, you will quickly discover that the Capital Region offers a very special quality of life.
