The hospital
network has over 800 beds in operation and the
educational experience is broadened by an aeromedical
transport system that conducts 1,800 flights annually
for the region's Level I trauma center with additional
pediatric privileges. Unique experience is also
available at the George
E. Moerkirk Emergency Medicine Institute that trains
8,700 students annually and uses sophisticated teaching
tools that include a human patient simulator.
As part of a teaching network that is
affiliated with the Penn State University College of
Medicine and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine,
Lehigh Valley Hospital - Muhlenberg campus has a well
organized clinical faculty that is committed to research
and providing a diverse, enriching experience that residents
need for a successful professional career in Emergency
Medicine.
