Program Identity & Fit

A residency launched in 2007 and based at Geisinger South Wilkes-Barre with select rotations at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center. Residents practice in a family medicine clinic attached to the hospital and admit adult patients on an unopposed service, following their own panel into the hospital and nursing home. The curriculum meets both American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians and American Board of Family Medicine requirements, and the third year includes a junior attending block and 4 elective blocks. There is no call expectation in the first year, and second- and third-year call is taken from home at a rate of less than 1:12; residents also work at two free clinics, one in Wilkes-Barre and one in Scranton.

Who it fits
An applicant who wants unopposed inpatient adult responsibility and a light call structure in a community program.
Research intensity

Career orientation
Primary Care / Community Practice.
Important
The program describes itself as training physicians for northeastern Pennsylvania and states it hopes graduates will stay on as Geisinger colleagues.
