Albany Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program



amcsherylThe Albany Medical Center Family Medicine Residency Program is proud of their partnership with Engeye Health Clinic (EHC) in Ddegeya Village, Uganda. The clinic founder, Dr. Stephanie Van Dyke, is an AMC Alumni so the relationship with EHC was a natural fit for our Family Medicine residency program.

As a caring group of faculty, residents, staff and medical students we set out beyond our own office walls and medical campuses into the community to better serve the medically underserved both at home and in Uganda. We have developed strong ties with EHC and we feel we have a unique ability to address the needs of the patients in this rural and isolated community.

Our faculty members and residents have traveled to EHC on four medical missions with each team being comprised of Family Medicine faculty, residents and medical students. Our medical students works side by side with their mentors dealing with challenging issues such as malaria and HIV/AIDS. When the team returns home they continue to work with the Engeye Board of Directors to improve protocols and treatment plans for future medical mission trips. Our partnership goals are clear:

  • To provide a valuable global health experience for our faculty, residents and students while bringing compassionate health care to the patients at EHC.
  • To enhance sustainable health care by partnering with EHC and the on-site Ugandan medical team.
