The Family Medicine Residency Program
The Family Medicine Residency Program has been in existence for 30 years and was founded by Dr. Melvin B. Dyster, who is still active in the program. It is affiliated with the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and operates under the direction of Laurie Kilbury-Taylor, D.O.
Family Medicine is the only residency program Memorial offers. The program's faculty members are interested in research and have published in the areas of patient safety, residency training and working with underserved populations.
At Niagara Falls Memorial, residents work closely with board certified physicians and faculty members. In addition to completing clinical rotations at the medical center, residents use the center's mobile clinic to provide care to migrant workers at nearby farms. They also see patients on an outpatient basis at Memorial's Summit Family Health Center, the Niagara University Health Clinic and the Tuscarora Indian Reservation Health Center.

“—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
and, lulled within, a family with pets,
—and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“No medicine in the world can do thee good;
In thee there is not half an hour’s life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
