Choosing Your Residency Program

Choosing the right residency program is difficult, especially when there are so many options available to you. Do you want to learn in a large urban setting, or a small community one? What type of relationship are you seeking with the faculty? Where can you find a program that offers a well-rounded experience so that you can be prepared for a variety of career paths?

At The Western Pennsylvania Hospital, the Family Medicine Residency program revolves around two important concepts: family and medicine. Our program is staffed by caring, dedicated and accomplished faculty whose primary goal is to provide the individualized support and mentoring necessary to help you become the best family doctor you can be. We foster a sense of family within our department so that you have the support system you need to succeed, and we strive to instill the values that we believe are essential to quality patient care.

Residents in our program train in a tertiary medical center with a rich teaching tradition, state-of-the-art facilities and world-renowned physicians. Here you will find academic excellence in a community hospital environment with a wealth and breadth of patients (including pediatrics and obstetrics right on campus) without burdensome service commitments.

So, if you are looking for a program where you can prepare for a variety of career options surrounded by teachers who really care about your future, The Western Pennsylvania Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program might be the right choice for you.
