“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.”

Traditional Rotating Internship, Family Practice Emphasis and Emergency Medicine - Linked Programs

St. Luke's Hospital –Allentown Campus offers graduate physicians the benefits of learning in a state-of-the-art community hospital atmosphere along with access to leading-edge care and technology at our larger tertiary care facility in Bethlehem. St. Luke’s 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.

St. Luke’s Osteopathic Internship Training Program has three different educational emphasis options: Traditional Rotating Internship, Family Practice Emphasis Internship and a Traditional Internship linked to the Emergency Medicine Residency. All of the programs are approved and accredited by the AOA.

The majority of our interns choose the Family Practice Emphasis Internship. Eighty percent of the interns who have completed the Traditional Rotating Internship have continued in the St. Luke’s Graduate Medical Education Programs to complete residencies in obstetrics and gynecology, general surgery and emergency medicine at the Bethlehem campus. Others have gone on to complete a wide spectrum of residencies and fellowships in other teaching hospitals across the nation.
