SUNY Buffalo has a nice program. Nice people with great faculty, in a university department with just about every specialty available. Strong areas are ultrasound, EMS. If you can take the snow, you'll fit in well there.
There's an EMS fellowship, but the EMS aspect is NOT strong - there is horrible animosity between the prehospital providers and the program, and the residents get worse and worse each year as far as base station functioning goes. The program throws money at it (two Expedition SLT's or XLT's or whatever the luxury model is, one for the EMS fellow, one for the resident on the EMS rotation that month), but no time is spent making the substance better. It is no secret that EMS is the "red headed stepchild", and there is no welcoming at the door. Likewise, the Department of Prehospital Care doesn't have any MD's attached to it - only paramedics. Telemedicine, though, is VERY strong - Dr. Ellis is an acknowledged leader, and Dr. Jehle is the author of the first EM Ultrasound textbook, and doctors come from all over to take the U/S class; the U/S they push hard on the residents (50 Cardio, abdominal, and gyn required), so they know their stuff.
For unknown reasons, there is a strong Texas hook (especially Texas Tech - 5 or 6 residents since the program started in '94).
