University at Buffalo Program
About This Program
Our program is uniquely situated to expose trainees to all subspecialties and patients from all backgrounds. About 10% of the 'City of Good Neighbors' is comprised of immigrants from around the globe. We care for large, underserved communities in Buffalo's West and East Side neighborhoods, suburban communities, and rural patients from northern Pennsylvania and Central New York. Buffalo is a medium-sized city; we have the variety and fun of a big city without the big costs and commutes.
