About UB's Graduate Medical Education
The University at Buffalo Medical School annually trains more than 700 residents and fellows to become clinicians, researchers, teachers, and leaders in their fields by:
- providing approximately 60 accredited residency programs in academically stimulating and nurturing environments
- exposing residents to patients with diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds
- providing a range of clinical environments, unequaled in any single medical institution
- fostering values that emphasize evidence-based medicine, patient safety, professionalism, and overcoming health-care disparities
- supporting trainees personal growth and development through interdisciplinary activities
Buffalo's Tradition of Discovery
Buffalo's primary medical research institutions are home to a critical mass of world-class researchers in both basic and applied sciences. From the Nobel Prize-winning scientist who first made protein structure determination possible, to the development of cutting-edge disciplines such as pharmacogenomics, Buffalo researchers have been - and continue to be - pioneers in fields of biomedical science.
Some noted biomedical advances from Buffalo include:
- The PSA test
- AVONEX®, the interferon treatment for multiple sclerosis
- Genetic diagnostics
- First automated structural determination of Gramicidin A
- Fetal viability test
- Patented high-throughput crystallization method
- Timed-release insulin therapy
- Anti-arrhythmia therapy made from tarantula venom
- Artificial blood
- Liquid ventilation, LiquiVent®
- Photodynamic therapy
- Surfactant therapy for newborns, Infasurf®,
that has reduced preterm mortality - Platinum coil for inoperable cranial aneurysms
- The internal pacemaker
- The methodology to screen infants for phenylketonuria (PKU)
- "Lippes Loop" - intrauterine contraceptive device
- "Smart Pill" for assessing gastrointestinal motility
