Cardiovascular Disease Residency Program

The SUNY Upstate Binghamton Clinical Campus is a vital branch of the Alan and Marlene Norton College of Medicine, providing third- and fourth-year medical students with a high-quality, community-based clinical education in New York’s Southern Tier. Students at the Binghamton Campus complete eight core clinical clerkships—Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Psychiatry, Neurology, Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Surgery—through partnerships with regional healthcare systems such as UHS, Guthrie Lourdes, and a variety of private practices. With an enrollment of approximately 40 students, the campus offers a close-knit learning environment where students benefit from personalized attention and hands-on experiences. Smaller clinical teams allow students to work closely with attending physicians and take active roles in patient care, including procedures like surgeries and deliveries. A hallmark of the Binghamton Campus is its longitudinal Family Medicine clerkship. Rather than a traditional block rotation, students spend a half-day each week over the course of the year in the same physician’s office. This continuity model fosters meaningful mentorship and sustained patient relationships—elements that many students cite as highlights of their clerkship experience. The Binghamton Clinical Campus combines rigorous medical training with a supportive, community-oriented setting. Through its focus on continuity, mentorship, and clinical engagement, the campus prepares students for success in a wide range of medical careers while reinforcing the values of compassionate, patient-centered care.
