Since its inception, the Scranton-Temple Residency Program has been committed to primary care. To further enhance our residents training in ambulatory medicine, the Scranton-Temple Health Center was created in 1997. It provides a comfortable, accessible environment in which to learn comprehensive patient care. In addition to internal medicine clinics, the health center also provides a number of specialty clinics. These include HIV, Hematology and Adolescent Medicine.
Residents spend two half days per week in the ambulatory center.
In addition, they also take part in ambulatory care rotations throughout their training. These rotations are designed to train residents in various aspects of ambulatory medicine.
