Joel C. Rosenfeld, MD

Director of Medical Education and General Surgery Residency Program Director

"As a Top 25 Teaching Hospital (Solucient), St. Luke's is dedicated to creating an environment that fosters excellence in clinical care and the best in physician education and development. As physicians and educators, the graduate medical education department strives to harness the knowledge, skills, compassion and talents of the residents that join our program."

Robert S. Dolansky, DO, FACOFP

Osteopathic Family Medicine Residency Program Director

“Residents who have successfully completed the St. Luke's Osteopathic Family Practice Residency Program have found that they gained an extensive knowledge-base to complement their desire to seek excellence in the life-long care of families. The faculty and staff of the St. Luke's program work with each resident individually to shape that knowledge-base, enabling the residents to achieve the “art” of medicine, paving the way to a most rewarding career of providing compassionate, quality care to their patients.”

Osteopathic Training in Community Hospital with Family Atmosphere

St. Luke’s Hospital - Allentown Campus offers a community hospital atmosphere with the benefits of the affiliation with our larger tertiary care hospital center at St. Luke’s Hospital - Bethlehem Campus.

The Osteopathic Programs are sponsored through the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM). The PCOM Mednet is a consortium of training hospitals, with the goal of collaborating on the education of physicians from medical school through the completion of residency training.

The strengths of our program include:

  • Community hospital with a family atmosphere
  • Leading-edge technology
  • Strong educational environment
  • 12,000-square foot freestanding $1.5 million Family Health Center
  • Combined educational programs and social activities with St. Luke's residents from other accredited training programs (Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, Ob/Gyn, General Surgery and Podiatry)
  • Flexibility of elective time
