Residents
Education has played an important role at St. Joseph’s, almost since its inception. The program was formalized in 1872, when students at Syracuse University’s College of Medicine were granted clinical instruction privileges at the hospital. As a teaching facility, St. Joseph’s must keep on top of the latest knowledge in medicine as well as the newest in technology in order to attract “the brightest and the best.”
St. Joseph’s currently offers four programs including Family Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and Transitional Residency.
