RESIDENCY
Each resident’s curriculum is designed to develop
your strengths and correct any weaknesses. Residents have access to the
most modern diagnostic and treatment options.
Our curriculum combines block rotations, conferences and longitudinal
experiences to provide a well rounded education. Elective time is also
available to gain additional experience in areas of special interest to
you and relevant to your medical training. Our ultimate goal is to
ensure that graduates of the program are board certified, and able to
provide quality care in any practice setting. As a resident, leadership
opportunities also exist.
FAMILY PRACTICE RESIDENCY
Family Practice is our dominant residency program. Your primary focus
is ambulatory patients with hospital and private practice rotations. At
the outpatient clinic you will have your own patients. You can expect
to work with patients presenting a wide spectrum of health problems.
Your first year will be split between the hospital with inpatient
management and clinic time. The second year is more dedicated to
ambulatory medicine with opportunities to supervise interns and
residents. During your third year efforts will be concentrated on a
stronger pursuit of managing patient care issues and refining medical
techniques. The program will create an opportunity to build a patient
base for future practice in the area.
We strive
to retain residents to remain in the area upon graduation. We offer
administrative assistance in seeking placement in established medical
practices.
ANESTHESIA
Members of
our Anesthesia team provide comprehensive 24 hour in house coverage for
both surgery and obstetrics. During the first year you will spend 90%
of your time in the O.R. Under the supervision of the Attending and
program director you will have direct patient responsibilities.
Required reading assignments and lecture attendance will be a part of
this initial year.
As you progress to your second year out rotations in neo-natal, cardiac
anesthesia, among others, will be introduced. You will be assigned more
cases and responsibilities in-house. The final year of training will
allow more elective time with an emphasis on specialty training.
INTERNAL MEDICINE
This is a traditional residency. You will be trained as a Hospitalist.
Throughout your training you will accompany Attendings to local
hospitals as well as spend time in their office. Most of your rotations
will be in Lancaster County. All sub-specialties are available at our
affiliate sites.
The
third year of training will allow more time for electives,
concentrating on a specialty. During the three year program, continuity
of care clinic time will be required.
