The Erie Canal runs straight through Newark, NY in Wayne County's apple country, a Finger Lakes-region village where canal boats still tie up along the downtown wall each summer. Medicine here runs at community scale, with assignments combining ED shifts and inpatient floor work. Housing costs little and arranges quickly. The canal towpath rolls east and west for flat daily miles past locks and orchards. Sodus Bay's lighthouse and Lake Ontario's beaches open about twenty-five minutes north. Apple stands and u-picks define the fall calendar in a county that grows more of them than nearly anywhere. Rochester sits about forty minutes west, where the metro market widens both the errand list and the contract board.
