Samuel Olukayode Ayo, M.D.
Hometown: Roosevelt, NY
College: Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education

Dr. Ayo, who prefers to go by K, is from Roosevelt, NY, a small town on Long Island. He attended the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education's combined BS/MD program and graduated from Albany Medical College. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at the University of Rochester in 2022. He was initially attracted to U of R not only for its reputation as a top academic institution, but also because of the diverse and relevant history within the City of Rochester and Monroe County. As an undergraduate, he completed the 2-year Colin Powell Public Policy Fellowship, and he consistently aims to incorporate the concepts of policy and community engagement learned during that time to inform his care for individual patients. He is happy to have found a community of colleagues with similar values and feels personally connected to and motivated by the patient population that he serves here in Rochester. His long-term interests include Academic Hospital Medicine and equity within and outside of health care the Chelsea Football Club, The English Premiere League and more Chelsea Football Club. He is an adoptive fan of the Buffalo Bills (bandwagon fan).
Sara Gianfagna, D.O.
Hometown: Buffalo, NY
College: Georgetown University
Medical School: Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Med
Sara is a native of Buffalo, NY. She went to Georgetown University in Washington, DC for college (go Hoyas basketball!). While there, she studied abroad in Galway, Ireland. She graduated from Lake Erie College of Medicine (LECOM) in Erie, PA. There, she received a dual degree: a Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O), and a Master's Degree in Medical Education (MSMEd.). Before medicine, she wanted to be a teacher, and as a child could always be found teaching her family and friends in the basement on her chalk board. She felt medicine was the natural fit to combine her love of science, care for others, and teaching, whether it be her patients, families, or other medical students and residents. When choosing residency, she loved that collegiality of U of R, the emphasis on being well rounded, and that many people who trained in Rochester choose to stay. She felt the program was structured in a way to emphasize education, and the patient population was diverse enough to allow for a well rounded experience. Sara is interested in medical education for both medical students and residents, focusing on clinical reasoning and bedside examination. She plans on pursing outpatient Primary Care after completion of her chief residency year. When not in the hospital, you can find Sara outside. She enjoys skiing, bike riding, kayaking, and playing tennis. On the rainy days, she is often reading or playing the piano. Her favorite bike ride in Rochester is on the Erie Canal Trail to get ice cream from Pittsford Dairy!
