Welcome From Our Program Director

Welcome to The Williamsport Hospital & Medical Center's Family Medicine Residency Program. Established in 1972, our Program is one of the oldest such programs in the country and today, it has grown to become one of the premier Family Medicine residency programs in the eastern United States. Our reputation for fostering a learning environment that both stimulates and nurtures resident physicians attracts medical school graduates from across the country. Our graduates are highly sought after by area and regional hospitals and have received an impressive number of achievement awards and teaching positions in other residency programs and medical schools throughout the country.
