Message: [QUOTE="reedny, post: 1445123, member: 1423"] True, the residencies could be anywhere (following completion of the medical degree). But it seems like SUNY Upstate likes to be able to place some residents at the Syracuse VA ... so there'll be more competition for those spots since SU's program includes mandatory VA work (although SU medical grad's could theoretically go to any VA facility). I also wonder about medical students going on hospital rotations (or rotations at the VA center) during med. school training, as opposed to residency? So that will require more rotations at SUNY upstate. Speaking of which, if the medical school cooperates with SU, there might be opportunities for the SUNY medical center. For example, given SU's emphasis on treatment of military injuries -- there will be a need for expansion of related hospital care units (TBI's, prosthetics, neuro-rahabilitation, etc.). So both medical schools, and SUNY Upstate hospital (not to mention Vets) could benefit. [/QUOTE]
