Family Medicine Residents

What our residents say:

“I think the best part of our residency is the great amount of support we get from our peers and faculty/attendings. Everyone is open to questions (without judgment) and willing to lend a hand, which contribute to an encouraging learning environment. Our residency acknowledges every resident’s professional goals and personal needs, paying special attention to wellness/resilience, and helps each resident on their individual journey.”

“I chose the Family Medicine Residency program at LVHN because I knew I would be in a place where I felt fully supported by faculty and peers in terms of my wellness and both personal and professional development. Many programs around the country support this idea but few intentionally integrate it consistently in their culture. I am proud to call the people I interacted with in my residency program my friends. The medicine will be similar from program to program, but the people make it unique.”

“Being a resident at LVHN let me be a part of something bigger for more impactful health care delivery to the Lehigh Valley. It gave me the chance to learn how bigger health networks operate so I can take the skills and knowledge I learn and apply them to the rest of my career.”

“What makes this program most unique to me is the emphasis placed on my personal growth and development. Not only am I learning medicine and patient care, but I am also growing as a person. I am learning about communication, professionalism, emotional intelligence and maturity. I am learning how to be the best version of myself, express my needs and support others.”

“I have found an amazing, supportive family community with the best co-resident bonds. Here there are continuity clinics that can get chaotic and yet feel like home with genius attendings who offer supportive, thoughtful leadership. We have the best canoe trips and regularly scheduled wellness time. It’s the kind of place where you wish it had a PGY-4 year because it’s just that awesome.”
