Faculty
Nationally and internationally renowned physicians, who are experts in their fields, train residents at the University of Rochester’s Emergency Medicine Program. They come from all over the country and represent diverse training styles and strengths, which culminates into a group of people with expertise in a wealth of topics. Many applicants and students ask, “ What is the greatest strength of your program?”. Without a doubt, our faculty are top contenders!
When choosing faculty, our greatest concern is their commitment to quality patient care, fostering wellness and education of the residents and commitment to improving the community of Emergency Medicine. The residency is deeply involved in faculty hiring decisions, which underscores the value of our resident’s lives and education.
Each resident, as they work with a faculty member, will learn something new and potentially different, allowing the resident to choose the practice style of emergency medicine that resonates best with themselves.
Alumni Spotlight...
"I grew up east of Albany, NY, and attended Albany Medical School near my hometown. My medical journey began with a med/surg transitional year at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, MA, before traveling back down I-90, past Albany this time, for a three-year Emergency Medicine residency in Rochester, NY. Afterward, I traveled slightly further down I-90 to Buffalo, NY, for an advanced emergency ultrasound fellowship. Rochester wasn’t initially on my radar, but living there for three years revealed its affordability, accessibility, rich culture, and vibrant community. I loved the balance of suburban living with easy city access and minimal commuting stress. The thing that really keeps me here, though, is the community of our department, the people I work with, and the relationships I’ve built here. I left to work in Boston for a little while, but when the opportunity came up to return, I jumped at the chance."
