Why You'll Love URMC

What Sets Us Apart

Flexible Curriculum

There is flexibility in the program, and it is not uncommon for residents to change tracks during training as their learning objectives and career goals evolve.

Our Residents

Our residents most commonly reference the personal relationships and valuable mentoring they receive as one of the top reasons why they would recommend URMC.

Our emphasis on work/life balance is an important reason residents choose URMC. A focus on trainees well-being enables you to learn and thrive in Rochester.

What our residents say...

"If you have more than a passing interest in disease prevention and public health policy, you are looking at the place that will give you the skill set to position yourself correctly going forward in your chosen field.

This program allows you a 'structured' space to explore your interests and stretch yourself in a way most programs do not."
