The challenge in the new millennium is to find continuous career development and professional fulfillment. The way to do this is through life long learning, and the best way to do that is by being engaged in the cycle of growth that comes from the integration of new information. We at STRP are committed to work continually with our stakeholders to renew and improve ourselves, our organization and our community. We embrace educational change and organizational development based on valued feedback from our partners, our faculty, our residents, our medical students and most importantly, from our patients.
We are excited to maintain a significant role in the development of the Commonwealth Medical College with shared faculty and the shared vision of promoting the health of northeastern PA through the promotion of medical education. STRP is also being challenged to build upon our success by stimulating additional local graduate medical education residencies and fellowships.
Please visit our site often for new and continuing information for residents, students, faculty, applicants, partners in our research and education programs and stakeholders in our community.
