Message de notre DIO
Poursuivre sa passion, pas seulement sa carrière
Il est toujours réconfortant et encourageant de voir une nouvelle génération de médecins commencer leur résidence et leur bourse au Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education. Le parcours pour devenir médecin est un processus long et ardu, plein d'excitation et d'anticipation, mais aussi de travail acharné.
I feel rejuvenated every year during the recruitment process as we interview numerous new physician candidates to fill the limited amount of positions we have available in our Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited graduate programs. It gives me great joy to engage with young doctors who are ready to take the next step in their careers and for me to learn about their goals, dreams and roles in this noble profession of medicine.
C'est un moment émouvant pour moi de partager avec les aspirants médecins la voie que j'ai choisie pour devenir médecin. Je suis un diplômé fier et passionné du Wright Center - une décision qui m'a finalement conduit à une carrière gratifiante en tant que responsable institutionnel désigné de cette organisation novatrice.
Our mission at The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education is to improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive, whole-person health services for all and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve.
Our history goes back nearly a half century. Since 1976, The Wright Center has been educating physicians and interprofessional students while providing affordable, high-quality whole-person primary health services locally – starting with our predecessor organization, the Scranton-Temple Residency Program. Our humble beginnings included six internal medicine residents training annually. Today, we have more than 670 employees, including around 200 resident and fellow physicians.
As one of the nation’s largest Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-funded Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortiums, The Wright Center integrates patient care delivery, workforce development, and innovation to be the leading model of primary health care in America.
Nous accomplissons notre mission avec passion dans le nord-est de la Pennsylvanie dans nos centres de santé communautaires et nos partenaires cliniques régionaux qui servent principalement les patients des comtés de Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, Wayne et Wyoming, ainsi que dans des communautés à travers le pays grâce à nos partenariats nationaux à Washington, en Arizona, dans l'Ohio et à Washington, D.C., ainsi que des réseaux d'apprentissage avec des centres de santé qualifiés au niveau fédéral (Federally Qualified Health Centers).
In 2019, HRSA designated The Wright Center for Community Health as a Federally Qualified Health Center Look-Alike, providing additional resources that allow our community health centers to further assist medically underserved rural and urban communities and vulnerable populations, including people who are underinsured and uninsured. Our community health centers, and local and national relationships enable our physician learners to gain hands-on experiences with various patient populations.
Those community health centers further reduce barriers to care by following the Patient-Centered Medical Home model, which provides integrated access to medical, dental, behavioral health, addiction and recovery, and infectious disease services at a single location. In the 2023-2024 fiscal year, The Wright Center recorded nearly 140,000 patient visits, including more than 33,000 unique patients, over 7,000 dental patients, and more than 4,000 people seeking mental and behavioral health services.
In addition, Pennsylvania designated The Wright Center for Community Health as an Opioid Use Disorder Center of Excellence in 2016 – one of about 50 centers in the commonwealth. Its related Healthy Maternal Opiate Medical Support Program, more commonly known as Healthy MOMS, involves dozens of committed partner organizations working together to empower women who are faced with the dual challenge of raising a baby and coping with a substance use disorder. We also offer Lifestyle Medicine, Obesity Medicine, an Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care Program, and a Ryan White HIV Clinic, the latter of which serves about 500 patients across seven counties. Our 34-foot mobile medical and dental unit, better known as Driving Better Health, improves access to care by establishing community clinics that enable clinical staff to see patients where they live, work, study, and play.
De par notre mission et notre conception, nous sommes engagés dans la formation médicale supérieure, les soins aux patients et l'impact d'un changement positif sur les communautés que nous servons à travers le pays. Le Wright Center est le programme qu'il vous faut si vous recherchez plus qu'un programme de résidence - un programme dans lequel vous pouvez transmettre vos connaissances et vos compétences pour l'amélioration de notre honorable profession et de ceux que nous visons à servir.
Nous vous remercions,
