The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education is a nonprofit organization based in Scranton, Pennsylvania that administers residency programs in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine and Psychiatry, as well as fellowships in Cardiovascular Disease and Gastroenterology. Its training model emphasizes developing residents to respond to community health needs through leadership and adaptability, reflecting a broader movement toward community-minded and more equitable healthcare. Trainees participate in a safety-net consortium and gain exposure to diverse community venues, strengthening their experience in settings where care is most needed and potentially guiding career choices toward underserved populations. The Center collaborates with regional and national partners, including health systems and government-serving clinics, to provide varied learning environments for residents across Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wayne and Pike counties. It also oversees the National Family Medicine Residency program with Federally Qualified Health Center partner sites across the United States, supported by an alliance with AT Still University’s School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona and the Still OPTI program. In 2026, the organization expanded its footprint in Luzerne County with new offices and a Wilkes-Barre community health center expansion, underscoring its ongoing effort to broaden local access to care.
