What Our Fellows are Saying
"One of the first things that attracted me to the U of R was the camaraderie and collegial atmosphere. Whether it is faculty, staff, or even one of your co-fellows, everyone is approachable and willing to spare a moment (or two) to help. It is because of this warm welcome that I was able to flourish and really take advantage of all that URMC has to offer.
From the unlimited research opportunities to the autonomy that you receive in caring for patients with a vast range of pathology, training here will prepare you to be a well-rounded clinician. And if that isn’t enough, you will also leave here with life-long friendships that will make your training experience that much better."
