My fiancé and I couples matched, and URMC felt like a hidden gem. On our second look, everyone was so warm and welcoming- this made it an easy decision for us!"

Manali Shah, D.O.

Strong Memorial is known in the region for its excellent evidence based, high quality care. I was amazed on interview day by how passionate the residency staff is about providing excellent training to the next generation of physicians. I could feel the passion and warmth that our teaching attendings have through the screen during my interview. Furthermore, I grew up in the region and have seen first-hand the empathetic care this hospital provides to those it serves."

Ronald Lott, D.O.

I really liked how the program emphasizes learning, collaboration, and personal growth. During my interview, I could tell that everyone was supportive of each other nobody was trying to outcompete others. I really enjoyed the emphasis on learning and clinical reasoning that takes place at both the bedside and in weekly conferences. The 6 + 2 schedule was another great feature that drew me here, and I love how about every 2 weeks I’m in a whole different setting with a different patient population and team to learn from! Having only one EMR to learn between all of our sites is a huge plus too!"

Brian Cornell, M.D.

Faculty who all want to teach residents in an environment conducive for educational growth. All of the residents are cohesive, get along, and seemed happier relative to other places I interviewed. The program directors and supportive staff are all great, and advocate for the residents and make their voices feel heard."
