Dr. O'Connor graduated from the University of California at Berkeley with a B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology, then obtained his M.D. from Indiana University School of Medicine in 1996. He completed internal medicine residency and a chief residency year at the University of Rochester in 2000. He is Program Director for the Internal Medicine Residency and an Associate Professor of Medicine. Additionally, he is a practicing hospitalist at Strong Memorial Hospital. Dr. O’Connor is active in several ongoing projects, such as studying the effect of the transition from a traditional internal medicine residency infrastructure to a “6+2” Block Model, while delving into Internal Medicine Residency Program Director burnout causes and effects. He is also looking at the integration of Point-of-Care Ultrasound into clinical practice and internal medicine residency training, plus the impact of in-house attending support – namely a Nocturnist - has on residents’ experience on night float. His scholarly interests include resident and student education, improving pain management and the cost-effectiveness of care. Outside of medicine he enjoys running, cycling, skiing and good food.
