Upstate Medical University reviews

The health care and retirement plan benefits are very good because SUNY Upstate Medical University is part of the NY State government. People can choose to have The Empire Plan for health insurance. Honestly, this is a great plan compared with everyone else I've met and talked to in the area as well as my family that lives in other regions in the USA. Living costs in the area are low... but that is changing in some neighborhoods. Generally speaking, living costs are low when I compare them it to other cities I've lived in, which were both smaller and larger cities. There are really good people in the research departments that are truly invested in helping each other succeed. Not everyone has this attitude, but in my department there are enough people like this that things work well and I'm able to push my research forward. Being affiliated with the hospital has many advantages as a scientific researcher in a non-medical lab. There is easy access to medical expertise and devices if one's research has a medical component to it. Ordering some supplies through the hospital can get big discounts. Also SUNY Upstate is growing both in size and reputation. This is a good thing for researchers associated with the university.

You see every kinds of medical condition at this hospital. You'll learn a lot in a short amount of time.
