Located in beautiful, suburban West Reading, Pennsylvania, the program has a rich, robust history of providing a vigorous academic experience in a welcoming and nurturing community hospital environment. Training is deep and balanced across all clinical disciplines. The busy Family Health Care Center follows a Patient Centered Medical Home model and serves a large, socially and medically complex patient population, including patients of all ages. At Reading Hospital, residents take ownership of a busy family medicine inpatient service and pediatric ward. Training includes challenging critical care, medical, pediatric, and women's health cases.
Our program is built on a foundation of clinical excellence, curriculum innovation, compassionate care, and community involvement. We pride ourselves on providing an environment that fosters individualized learning while providing top-notch, broad-spectrum family medicine training. Our innovative X+Y scheduling module prepares our residents for "real-world" practice. Residents also gain experience in multiple settings, providing an opportunity to care for a very diverse patient population.
The residency was established in 1972 and has continued to graduate excellent, compassionate physicians with a love of lifelong learning. Our alumni have gone on to practice in multiple settings, including outpatient practices, hospital medicine, emergency medicine, rural medicine, sports medicine, and academia, to name a few. In fact, three of our core faculty (including me) are graduates of our program.
