The Wright Center

About

The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education is a nonprofit, Scranton-based health education organization (founded 1976) focused on graduate medical education and community-oriented primary care. It trains internal medicine, family medicine, and psychiatry residents, plus cardiology and gastroenterology fellows, through a regional network in Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wayne, and Pike counties. The Center emphasizes the Beyond Flexner national movement to prepare physicians committed to equitable, community-based care within a Safety-Net Consortium. It partners with Commonwealth Health System, VA, Geisinger, and multiple regional clinics and health centers to offer diverse learning environments. Although primarily an education organization, it operates a patient-facing primary care ecosystem and supports a National Family Medicine Residency (NFMR) via a consortium model with affiliated sites across the U.S. Key context for Women's Health: - The Wright Center Training emphasizes community-based, patient-centered care, which includes family medicine training that often covers women’s health needs. - Partner sites and clinical environments include Federally Qualified Health Center networks that typically provide women’s health services (screening, well-woman visits, reproductive health) as part of primary care training. - Specific women’s health offerings are not listed on the page; contact or site-specific inquiries to the Scranton HQ or partner clinics may be needed to confirm current women’s health services and ob-gyn-focused rotations.
