The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education Details
The Wright Center's Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and Psychiatry Residencies, as well as our Cardiovascular Disease and Gastroenterology Fellowships, were designed to empower residents as innovators and nimble leaders responsive to the needs of the community they serve. Within our non-profit Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortium, our trainees are immersed in diverse community venues where they are most needed, increasing their long-term likelihood of working in such settings after completing their training. Our training model follows the national Beyond Flexner movement, focused on training community-minded health professionals as agents of more equitable healthcare.Our regional residents and fellows train within Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wayne and Pike counties. Strong affiliations with Commonwealth Health System, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and Geisinger, as well as multiple regional learning environments including Maternal and Family Health Services, Pike Family Health Center, Rural Health Corporation, Scranton Counseling Center, Scranton Primary Health Care Center and Wayne Memorial Community Health Center allow us to provide diverse, innovative learning environments for trainees.Our National Family Medicine Residency (NFMR) learners train at 1 of 4 Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) partner sites across the United States.
