This is in stark contrast to colleagues who have trained in complex institutions with an overabundance of fellows and fierce competition for educational opportunities. When you complete your training at STRP, you will feel confident in the office and at the bedside, whether that bedside is in the ICU or a long-term care facility. Second, our philosophy is to support your development as an internist. You will have ample opportunity to present cases and to develop your teaching skills. We have two hours each day in conferences where we share information and approaches.
Residents are faculty colleagues who have direct responsibility for teaching medical students.
Our residents advance by teaching interns and each other, and our faculty is renewed by interacting with housestaff. There is no rigid hierarchy here. Third, you will be able to find the right practice opportunity when you finish. Northeast Pennsylvania is a great place to live and to practice medicine. There are many opportunities for practice in the region.
