Our Role in Training Health Care Professionals

As an academic practice, our senior physicians are all Board Certified Family Physicians and faculty in the UB Department of Family Medicine. In addition to providing health care at our offices, they teach and supervise Family Medicine residents, medical students, nurses, and other health professionals.

Our Residents

Our busy teaching practices at our Jefferson and Amherst offices each include UB Family Medicine residents who have graduated medical school and are now training in the specialty of Family Medicine under the close supervision of our faculty physicians. When you are seeing a resident as your doctor, there is always a designated senior faculty physician in the office specifically supervising that resident. We are proud that  most of the excellent family physicians practicing in Western New York are graduates of our program. Some of our residents have also gone on to become medical directors of hospitals, health plans and chairs of medical school departments of Family Medicine.

We also provide training for medical students, nursing students, and other health professional trainees at our office, so, from time to time, they may assist your doctor or nurse in your care.
