The
Department of Family Medicine is a dynamic, exciting place that
has received national recognition. In addition to resident education,
the department's mission encompasses medical student education,
fellowship training, patient care, and research.
Our university system is organized on the consortium model for graduate medical education, with programs that are university directed, yet located in community hospitals-thus blending the advantages of the university with the benefits of the community. At the University at Buffalo, you select the milieu that fulfills your personal educational plan. Each hospital collaborating with our university department has a characteristic identity and mission. The Department of Family Medicine is a leader, an innovator, and an advocate for change in the medical school curriculum. Our courses are student centered and emphasize training in ambulatory sites and problem-based learning methods. Family Medicine residents play a central role in bedside and office-based teaching. The residency program curriculum is designed to include all the required elements for learning comprehensive and continuous care in a wide range of community hospital settings.
