Rurally Located Program – Marion Center, PA

The mission of the IRMC Family Medicine residency program is to provide excellent, comprehensive, family medicine training, in order that our graduates might alleviate healthcare disparities in rural Pennsylvania communities.

Unique Features

Vision Statement
Our training will integrate the assets and needs of our region to train compassionate and conscientious physicians who use evidence-based practices to provide quality service to surrounding communities during residency and beyond. Residents will learn to foster wellness of mind, body, and spirit throughout the full spectrum of a patient’s lifetime. Additionally, our training program will foster wellness for physicians by offering a holistic living and learning model in a supportive, family-friendly environment.

Unique to IRMC FMRP: For our inaugural class of residents, we are looking for leaders, pioneers, and innovators. Applicants with genuine rural and family medicine interest will be prioritized. Unique leadership opportunities will abound as we shape and mold the details of our training program. Because the IRMC FMRP is an unopposed program, residents will have full access to the myriad of learning opportunities and settings at our medical center.

Residents at IRMC will have opportunities to participate in community medicine programs with our local Amish community and migrant farm workers. Residents will have sports medicine opportunities at local high schools and Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP). Global Health opportunities will be available dependent upon international COVID restrictions.
