Wellspan Health-Good Samaritan Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based family medicine residency at Good Samaritan Hospital in Lebanon, PA, where residents are the only trainees in the hospital, granting them direct ownership of patients across clinic and subspecialty rotations. The program is built around a longitudinal, teams-based, clinic-first curriculum emphasizing consistent outpatient continuity, resident autonomy, and care of both socially and medically complex populations across rural and urban settings. Scholarly activity is woven into training and faculty carry a notable record of national and international publications, but the explicit orientation is toward producing well-rounded primary care physicians rather than subspecialists or researchers. Dual ACGME allopathic/osteopathic accreditation and a fixed 7-7-7 class structure (21 total residents) reflect a small, tightly integrated program identity centered on comprehensive, whole-person primary care delivery.
