The Erie County Medical
Center (ECMC) site of the UB Family Medicine residency program is
based at the outpatient Cleve-Hill Family Health Center and the
nearby Erie County Medical Center (ECMC), both in downtown Buffalo,
New York.
Cleve-Hill Family
Health Center
Fifteen Family Medicine residents practice alongside seven board-certified
Family Medicine attending physicians at the Cleve-Hill Family Health
Center. The facility has 21 exam rooms, including a procedure room.
It is located in a residential area at the edge of urban Buffalo.
Patients represent a wide variety of cultural and economic backgrounds.
Many underserved patients are seen at this site. Patients of all
ages are seen, including prenatal patients. Residents develop their
own panel of patients they follow over their 3 years of residency.
Office procedures performed by residents include colposcopy, endometrial
biopsy, and nasorhinolaryngoscopy.
Erie County Medical
Center
ECMC, a 550-bed tertiary-care hospital in Buffalo, is Western New
York's designated regional trauma center and Mercy Flight base,
HIV center, Emergency Psychiatry center, pediatric lead screening,
AIDS and Burn center. As one of the main teaching hospitals in the
State University of New York (SUNY) system, ECMC has outstanding
medical and dental staff who serve as a broad and experienced referral
base and provide exceptional teaching faculty. Thirteen of the medical
school's department chairs are housed at ECMC, the largest proportion
of chairs within the university system.
For Family Medicine residents based at Cleve-Hill/ECMC, the Family
Medicine Inpatient Service (FMIS) is done at ECMC, the largest hospital
in the region. It consists of adult medicine, and is a busy service
with a variety of patients, both from our practice as well as some
un-referred patients. A third year resident supervises the FMIS
team, which usually consists of one second year resident and 2 first
year residents. There are often one or more medical students as
well. The attending rounds with the team daily.
In the second year, residents also supervise the Family Medicine
inpatient service at Women's and Children's hospital of Buffalo,
where children and obstetric patients from Cleve-Hill are admitted.
They work one on one with attending physicians on this service.
In addition to rounding, and going over teaching topics, the attending
comes in for any patients in active labor.
Our longitudinal geriatric experience is completed on the premises
in the hospital's 150-bed skilled nursing facility
The Primary Care Research Institute is
also located at ECMC, and provides a center for the research activities
of the faculty. Resources are available to assist residents who
are interested in participating in research or writing during their
residency.
