The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education has collaborated with HealthSource of Ohio, in Hillsboro, to train outstanding family medicine resident physicians in rural settings, emphasizing the treatment of underserved populations. The program immerses residents in patient care at the largest Federally Qualified Community Health Center in Ohio, which serves over 85,000 patients annually. Thanks to our strong community partnerships, including a local critical-access hospital and a nursing home, residents can hone a wide range of procedural skills and forge meaningful, longlasting relationships with patients of all ages.
Recognizing that primary care physicians deliver up to 80% of psychiatric care in the United States, our program integrates Behavioral Health into the primary care setting to give our residents opportunities to develop these critical caregiving skills in a collaborative
effort with our psychology fellowship. Additionally, our residency program offers other opportunities in a wide range of relevant topics, including population health and quality improvement. Residents are required to pursue research opportunities to further their academic and professional development. Our curriculum includes an option for osteopathic training and support from an Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine fellowship-trained physician. Because of our outpatient-focused program, residents typically report an excellent work/life balance.
Residents training at HealthSource of Ohio have had a 100% five-year board passage rate. More than 50% of the residents have gone on to work at a community health center, working to improve access to care for everyone. If you are looking for a dynamic and rewarding training experience in rural outpatient medicine, we invite you to consider our residency program.
We are committed to providing residents with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to excel in their careers as family medicine physicians.

The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education The WRIGHT Choice
The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education (TWCGME) is affiliated with The Wright Center for Community Health, the cornerstone ambulatory care delivery service organization of our Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortium (GME-SNC).
Our GME-SNC is one of the largest in the nation, funded by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It addresses the national primary care physician workforce shortage and misdistribution and related health and health care career disparities by force-multiplying the impact of primary care health services delivery, workforce development, and public health by optimizing public and private clinical revenues.
Together with consortium stakeholders, The Wright Center trains primary care residents and fellows in a community-based, community-needs-responsive workforce development model to improve the health and welfare of our communities through responsive, whole-person health services for all and the sustainable renewal of an inspired, competent workforce that is privileged to serve.
Physicians in our Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)- accredited residency and fellowship programs are immersed in diverse inpatient and outpatient health care settings where they are most needed. This increases their likelihood of working in rural and other medically underserved areas, such as under-resourced urban neighborhoods, after completing their training. Our residents and fellows are empowered and expected to lead community-responsive care innovations throughout their training.
Our physician learners gain hands-on experience with diverse and medically underserved populations at
our affiliated Federally Qualified Health Center LookAlike Teaching Health Center locations and a schoolbased health clinic known collectively as The Wright Center for Community Health.
The Wright Center’s care teams are privileged to provide affordable, high-quality, whole-person primary health services in our primary care community health centers, allowing them the opportunity to address the conditions that affect the health and well-being of people where they live, learn, work, and play.
As a leader in delivering whole-person primary health services in an eight-county area in Northeast Pennsylvania, The Wright Center treated more than 35,000 patients during nearly 140,000 patient visits in the 2023-24 fiscal year. We specialize in providing a continuum of care for our patients, from pediatrics to geriatrics.
The Wright Center is headquartered in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and operates a growing network of community health centers, including a mobile medical and dental unit called Driving Better Health. The regional locations offer responsive and wholeperson primary health services. Patients typically have the convenience of going to a single location to access integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health, as well as community-based addiction treatment and recovery services.
Our passionate purpose is to create transformational care teams of leaders who empower patients, families, and communities to own and optimize their health. Do you want to learn more about medicine that can improve community health and launch your career?

Research & Scholarly Work
In accordance with Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) common program requirements, as well as the spirit of academic medicine, we provide a robust scholarly activity curriculum brought to life through the opportunities that we provide to our residents and fellows, and the scholarly work they produce.
One of our core beliefs is that it takes far more than medical knowledge to create the next generation of physician leaders. Our scholarly activity curriculum has application in all ACGME areas of competence.
Our learners acquire the skills needed to contribute to respected literature and thereby come to appreciate its intrinsic value in practice and quality of care. In teaching our residents and fellows the skills necessary for evidence-based medicine, we shape curiosity into an appreciation for lifelong learning. By graduation, each resident and fellow has learned to fuse quality improvement evidence with practice-based learning –the driving force for which all research is initiated and investigated.
Scholarly Activity leadership roles have been created
for residents to fill who are experienced in research, presentation, publication, and other forms of scholarship. These leaders act as liaisons between the resident/fellow body, program faculty, and GME administration to support the development and sharing of scholarly activity at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education. The committee currently consists of one chief resident of scholarly activity and two resident leaders.
The Community-Oriented Primary Care (COPC) research project requirement allows residents to build skills in problem identification, problem-solving, and need-based intervention on the community level. Residents work with interdisciplinary teams within their community health center setting to identify the needs of relevant stakeholders, plan and develop an intervention, and implement their intervention.

Founded in 1976 as the Scranton-Temple Residency Program, TWCGME educates residents, fellows, and interprofessional students while providing nondiscriminatory, high-quality, affordable, whole-person primary health services through our clinical settings in communities that need them most. Those humble beginnings included six internal medicine residents. Today, we have more than 665 employees, including more than 200 resident and fellow physicians.
Our nonprofit Graduate Medical Education Safety-Net Consortium sponsoring institution is affiliated with community partners and hospitals in Northeast Pennsylvania.
Our model follows the national Beyond Flexner movement that is focused on developing community-minded health professionals who are active agents of equitable health care, and was designed to address our nation’s health care workforce shortages and misdistribution.
