Are you a physician resident, nurse practitioner, fellow, or other healthcare professional thinking about your career path?

Join us for a 3-day all inclusive tour of Upstate New York to explore the opportunities!

The "Take A Look" program aims to expose healthcare professionals in

training to practice opportunities in Upstate New York communities.

These guided tours are intended to encourage healthcare professionals,

like yourself, to "take a look" and learn about Upstate New York

hospitals, medical staffs, communities and cultures through hospital and

ambulatory care site visits. We want Upstate to be top of mind when

you begin your residency and job search!

Upon arrival, participants will be transported on a guided tour of each

community and introduced to local physicians, nurses and health care

leaders. All travel expenses, including transportation, meals and two-

nights hotel accommodations will be provided.

But act fast! Each tour is limited to a small group to allow for maximum

interaction. Reserve your spot now and enjoy the beauty of fall in

Upstate NY!

“I was very surprised with the many opportunities

available in Upstate NY and it solidified my decision to ultimately move there. We met many doctors and nurses

who are happy and enjoying their daily work in the

community … It was truly an eye-opening

experience.”

-Fall 2017 “Take A Look” Tour Participant

“There are more options out there than I ever thought

about. There is a sense of community in Upstate NY which in my opinion makes practice more fulfilling. You have more options to expand your practice and

dive into other niches of medicine.”

-Fall 2018 “Take A Look” Tour Participant,
