Every year, Erie helps to train more than 200 future healthcare professionals with diverse backgrounds. These include medical residents in family medicine, internal medicine, and pediatrics; Advanced Practice Nursing Fellows; as well as medical, dental, nurse practitioner, midwifery, nursing, and medical assistant students.

Recognizing the national shortage of primary care providers and staff, Erie is committed to training the next generation of primary care leaders to work in underserved communities. We are proud of the seven residency programs, APRN Fellowship, and Medical Assistant training program in which the learners’ primary longitudinal outpatient training is at Erie Health Centers.
