Dr. Kadura grew up in Canastota, NY. She completed her undergraduate degree at Syracuse University and her medical degree at Universidad Central del Caribe in Puerto Rico. She was an internal medicine resident here at URMC. She then practiced hospital medicine for seven years, where she enjoyed quality improvement work and teaching medical students and residents.
