At WellSpan Health, our dedicated team of healthcare leaders ensures that trainees in our medical education and academic affairs programs are well-positioned for success across the educational spectrum.
The Department of Academic Affairs oversees medical student education and rotations, including activities coordinated within the WellSpan York Hospital Regional Medical Campus of Drexel University College of Medicine. Additionally, we oversee our graduate medical education (GME) enterprise consisting of residency and fellowship training programs and WellSpan research.
The WellSpan Health Medical Education Simulation Center is also a vital part of our educational activities. Finally, we host the WellSpan Health Office of Continuing Medical Education (CME) across our growing integrated health system.
