The Department of Family Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse New York is linked to many excellent family medicine and primary care practices in the Central New York region, including private practices, community-based health centers, affiliated hospitals and area health education centers. At these sites, physicians and professionals make significant contributions to medical education, to recruiting students into the health professions and to research & scholarship, including practice-based research, health disparities, and medical education.

Our department is noted for nationally recognized programs in medical education, our Family Medicine Residency at St. Joseph’s Hospital and our Rural Medicine Education Program, RMED . Our faculty are dedicated to excellence in medical education and patient care. Our clerkship in Family Medicine is highly rated by our students. Our patient care practices serve Central New Yorkers in multiple sites: urban, urban underserved, rural and suburban.

The goal of the Department of Family Medicine at SUNY Upstate Medical University is for academic family medicine to be the standard-bearer, advocate and facilitator of quality primary care and medical education in the Central New York region. To achieve this overarching goal, we must act as a resource for and be responsive to the communities we serve: our patients, our learners, our full-time and volunteer faculty and our colleagues in primary care.

I personally commit our department to excellence in academic Family Medicine - to facilitate the sharing of best practices in primary care delivery, primary care medical education, scholarship, research and advocacy within a learning community of primary care practices.
