About This Program
Fellows have the opportunity to provide culturally sensitive pediatric care at the Onondaga Nation Health Center, an outpatient clinic. Fellows are immersed in a collaborative model with community leaders and child psychiatry to reduce health disparities for children. Other unique opportunities include working with a multidisciplinary team which provides primary care medical services to children in foster care and a dedicated service for refugees. Upstate also has a transgender medicine clinic.
