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:
“Like plowing, housework makes the ground ready for the germination of family life. The kids will not invite a teacher home if beer cans litter the living room. The family isn’t likely to have breakfast together if somebody didn’t remember to buy eggs, milk, or muffins. Housework maintains an orderly setting in which family life can flourish.”
—Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)
“Good medicine is bitter to the taste.”
—Chinese proverb.
“[T]he asphaltum contains an exactly requisite amount of sulphides for production of rubber tires. This brown material also contains “ichthyol,” a medicinal preparation used externally, in Webster’s clarifying phrase, “as an alterant and discutient.””
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
