Residency Program

SUNY Upstate Residency Program began in 1952. We currently have a team of 20 residents, assigning 5 residents for each post-graduate year. The medical facilities in Syracuse serve a 21 county area as a major referral center and thus draw patients from the entire region as well as the population of the metropolitan area.

Facilities Include

• University Hospital
• Crouse Hospital
• Health Science Library with over 112,000 volumes
• Institute for Human Performance (IHP)
  
• Campus Activities Building
• Educational Communications
• Marley Education Center
• Weiskotten Hall
• Center for Maternal Child Health

Gynecology rotations are done at University Hospital and Crouse Hospital. University Hospital is a 350-bed facility which is staffed entirely by College of Medicine full-time and clinical faculty. It also houses office, out-patient, teaching, and research facilities. Crouse Hospital, a private 600-bed facility, is a major affiliate of SUNY Upstate Medical University. The obstetrics rotation are done entirely at this hospital.

Close collaboration with nearby health facilities is ongoing. A balanced experience is offered in the community hospital setting as well as in the tertiary care programs of our University Hospital.

Training Areas

New training areas are being continuously developed in response to changes in medical practice.

Overview

• Each resident is assigned a clinic session and his/her patients are followed continuously throughout all four years of the residency.
• The resident's academic training is further enhanced further by research projects.
• During the third year, residents present a formal case review and, in the fourth year, residents give a formal research paper.
• The results of residents' research are presented annually during a spring Senior and Chief Residents' Scientific Forum.
