The Penn State University / The Good
Samaritan Hospital Family & Community Medicine Residency Program is a small
university sponsored, community hospital based program located in the beautiful
rolling hills of Southeastern Pennsylvania. We are the only residency program in
our hospital, in our community, and in our rural county of 128,900 people. Our
program is fully accredited by the ACGME.
We offer 8 positions per year,
and have a total complement of 24 residents. Candidates should apply to our
program through the National Residency Matching Program by way of the ERAS
system.
Our residents obtain "front-line", hands on, direct patient care
experiences throughout their training under the direction of exceptional,
clinically oriented faculty, who have had private practice experience. Our
program currently has a full time equivalent of 10 faculty physicians and one
behavioral scientist.
We spend considerable effort in familiarizing each
new resident to the people in our program and to our community and to the unique
health needs of the population we serve. The goal each July is to rapidly
involve our new residents in every aspect of patient care responsibility, as new
members of our group practices.
Please take a moment to browse through
our web site to learn more about our dynamic curriculum, the depth of our
educational resources, and about the supportive and caring teaching environment
that exists in our residency program and which we are proud of. |
