Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education te rekonèt 65 rezidan ak parèy gradye doktè yo pandan 45yèm seremoni anyèl li kòmanse Samdi 22 jen 2024 nan Mohegan Pennsylvania Convention Center nan Plains Township.
Wright Center onore ak rekonèt gradye nan sis disiplin: medsin entèn, 32; medsin fanmi nasyonal, 16; medikaman fanmi rejyonal, 14; maladi kadyovaskilè, youn; gastroenteroloji, yon sèl; ak jeryatrik, youn.
Apeprè 350 manm fanmi, anplwaye, ak lòt moun te asiste seremoni an.
Doktè Humza Quadir, nan Philadelphia, yon lopital ak enstriktè klinik nan Lopital University of Pennsylvania ak Penn Presbyterian Medical Center ki te gradye nan Rezidans Medsin Entèn Wright Center a an 2022, te bay diskou prensipal la. Li sèvi tou kòm yon enstriktè nan Penn's Perelman School of Medicine e li te resevwa diplòm medikal li nan Ziauddin University nan Karachi, Pakistan, nan mwa desanm 2014.
Nan Sant Wright la, Dr Quadir te sèvi nan plizyè wòl lidèchip, tankou rezidan an chèf, vis prezidan konsèy anplwaye kay la, yon manm vòt nan Komite Edikasyon Medikal gradye (GMEC), ak yon manm Komite Kalite ak Sekirite GMEC.

In his keynote address, Dr. Quadir stressed the importance of primary care, community health, and serving at-risk populations. He encouraged the graduates to create a supportive health care environment.
“As physicians, our calling isn’t just about the diagnosis and treatment of diseases; it is also about fostering compassion and service with every interaction,” he said. “Each patient who walks through our doors is not just a case to be treated but a member of a larger community — a community that relies on us for care, compassion, and support. Whether we practice in urban or rural areas, let us remember our responsibility to serve and uplift the communities we call home.”

Other speakers included: Linda Thomas-Hemak, M.D., FACP, FAAP, president and CEO of The Wright Centers for Community Health and Graduate Medical Education; Jumee Barooah, M.D., FACP, senior vice president of education and designated institutional official for The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education and a 2013 alumnus of its internal medicine residency program; and Chief Resident Chilsia Shafi, M.D., a 2024 graduate of The Wright Center’s internal medicine residency program.
“Vwayaj Wright Center a te kòmanse an 1977, avèk klas inogirasyon sis doktè rezidan medikaman entèn yo,” Doktè Barooah te di nan diskou li a. “Objektif nòb la se te adrese mank de founisè swen prensipal isit la. Depi kòmansman enb sa yo, nou grandi pou bay edikasyon medikal gradye nan kominote yo soti kòt an kòt, ak rezidan yo ak parèy yo agrandi konesans ak kapasite yo nan pwogram akredite Konsèy Akreditasyon pou Edikasyon Medikal gradye (ACGME) nou an.”
Defi nan edikasyon medikal gradye ak livrezon swen primè kontinye, tankou mank prevwa Asosyasyon Medikal Ameriken an nan jiska 48,000 doktè swen prensipal pa 2034 ak move distribisyon doktè ki asosye ki limite aksè a swen pou anpil moun, li te di.
“Health Professional Shortage Areas are also prevalent, including here in our region, affecting the health and quality of life of our neighbors and friends,” Dr. Barooah said. “These are daunting issues, but ones The Wright Center is working to address thanks to our more than 1,000 alumni, including our 65-member strong Class of 2024.”
Dr. Thomas-Hemak thanked the graduates for their dedication and countless contributions in the delivery of The Wright Center’s noble mission: To improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive health services and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve.
Timothy Burke, DO, FACOI, direktè pwogram asosye pou rezidans Medsin Entèn, bay Chilsia Shafi diplòm li.
“As healers, we must always strive to be beacons of hope and forces for positive change,” she said. “I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful that you have shared a part of your life path, energy, and immense talent with us at The Wright Center.”
