Glad you asked.. I am PGY-1 at this program. I came to this program as a DO looking for a combined residency that offered MD/DO paths. Once I graduate I will take both the ABFM(md) boards and osteopathic boards. The benefit of combined program for me is that I will have the opportunity to moonlight(doing OMT) and enhance or maintain my osteopathic skills. Program has 9-10 first year residents, 50% MD and 50% DO.
1) Very Strong inpatient/hospital or medicine rotations. For Inpatient we admit patients of 2 very large family medicine groups in the community and work with attending from those groups inpatient.
3) Strong pediatrics(we rotate in nursery and NICU with pediatric hospitalist and neonatologist. Outpatient pediatrics has room for improvement.
4) Obgyn rotation you don't have much of responsibility as a resident, but if you are involved there is great volume of deliveries. On my rotation on any given day there was an opportunity to participate in at least one vaginal delivery daily and almost every day I would start off with at least two c-sections.
5) Clinic support staff is great and the clinic itself is associated/attached to the hospital. We can admit people from clinic to our hospital if there is a need.Very progressive philosophy (Feedback Friday involves every one from the clinic Qfriday and addresses concerns as they arise.
6) Sports medicine and geriatrics fellowships. Acupuncture certification. OMT(Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine clinic)
7) UHS is very large local organization that has family medicine Clinic in Johnson city(Binghamton) and many clinics in the surrounding towns/communities, including multiple hospitals, hence great opportunity to stay in the area to practice after graduation and potentially be employed by a hospital.
8) Ample opportunity to attend either family medicine lectures or Internal medicine Residency lectures(which ever you find interesting)
9) $55,000/year
10) Gotta be honest- you work hard once you are on shift, but its a nice medium- enough time to rest in between. They are strict on hours.
9) Room for improvement- outpatient pediatrics and EMR system.
