Family Medicine Residency - Anderson

St. Luke’s Family Medicine Residency – Anderson expands the footprint of Family Medicine at St. Luke’s onto our Anderson Campus and into the city of Easton, establishing close community connections and utilizing innovative lifestyle-based approaches to the prevention and treatment of chronic disease.

When a physician is called to Family Medicine, he or she enters a field where breadth of practice is the rule, rather than the exception. Whether that breadth refers to age, burden of illness, socioeconomic status or a variety of other categories, the family physician must be “ready for anything.” At the St. Luke’s Family Medicine Residency - Anderson, we’re building a program that combines tried and true approaches to medical education with innovation both clinically and academically.

With two distinct ambulatory continuity sites, residents have the opportunity to learn medicine in an environment that will prepare them to be the family physician that they envision for their future. Inpatient rotations are completed at our beautiful and state of the art Anderson Campus, with the resources of our University Hospital and Health Network providing an unrivaled quality of educational programming.
