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.

Famous quotes containing the words family, medicine and/or program:
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
“Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“The discovery of Pennsylvania’s coal and iron was the deathblow to Allaire. The works were moved to Pennsylvania so hurriedly that for years pianos and the larger pieces of furniture stood in the deserted houses.”
—For the State of New Jersey, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
