Ujumbe kutoka kwa DIO yetu
Fuata shauku yako, sio tu kazi yako
Daima inatia moyo na kutia moyo kuona kizazi kipya cha madaktari kikianza ukaazi na ushirika wao katika Kituo cha Wright cha Elimu ya Uzamili ya Matibabu. Safari ya kuwa daktari ni mchakato mrefu na mgumu uliojaa msisimko na matarajio mengi, lakini pia bidii nyingi.
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.
Ni wakati wa kihisia kwangu ninapopata kushiriki na madaktari wanaotaka njia niliyochagua kuwa daktari. Mimi ni mhitimu mwenye fahari na mwenye shauku ya The Wright Center - uamuzi ambao hatimaye ulinifanya nipate kazi yenye kuthawabisha kama Afisa Mteule wa Kitaasisi wa shirika hili muhimu.
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.
Tunawasilisha misheni yetu hapa Kaskazini-mashariki mwa Pennsylvania katika vituo vyetu vya afya vya jamii na washirika wa kimatibabu wa kikanda ambao huhudumia wagonjwa hasa katika kaunti za Lackawanna, Luzerne, Susquehanna, Wayne, na Wyoming, na pia katika jumuiya kote nchini kupitia ushirikiano wetu wa kitaifa huko Washington, Arizona. , Ohio, na Washington, DC, na mitandao ya kujifunza yenye Vituo vya Afya Vilivyohitimu Kiserikali.
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.
Kwa dhamira na muundo, tumejitolea kuhitimu elimu ya matibabu, utunzaji wa wagonjwa, na kuathiri mabadiliko chanya kwa jamii tunazohudumia kote nchini. Kituo cha Wright ndicho programu yako ikiwa unatafuta zaidi ya mpango wa ukaaji - ambao unaweza kutoa ujuzi na ujuzi wako kwa ajili ya kuboresha taaluma yetu inayoheshimika na wale tunaolenga kuwahudumia.
Asante,
