Geriatric Medicine Physician Faculty

Reimagine Aging Care. Lead with Purpose.

Geriatric Medicine Physician Faculty

Scranton, PA | The Wright Center for Community Health & Graduate Medical Education

At The Wright Center, we believe health care is a human right – and how we care for older adults defines the strength of our communities.

We’re seeking a board-certified Geriatrician to step into a high-impact faculty and leadership role, advancing population health, age-friendly care, and whole-person health services for older adults – especially those living with dementia, complex conditions, and social vulnerability.

This is more than a faculty position. It’s an opportunity to build, lead, and teach a better model of aging care.

Why This Role Matters

You will help shape a system where care is not fragmented–but integrated, compassionate, and aligned with what matters most to patients and their families.

As a clinical leader, you’ll drive the development of an Age-Friendly Health System, embedding the nationally recognized Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) 4Ms Framework into everyday care:

• What Matters – Care guided by patient goals and values

• Medication – Thoughtful prescribing that minimizes harm

• Mentation – Proactive dementia, delirium, and depression care

• Mobility – Preserving independence and function

You’ll also help design longitudinal, whole-person care models that support not just patients – but the caregivers and families who care for them.

What You’ll Do

• Deliver comprehensive, longitudinal care to older adults with complex medical, cognitive, and social needs

• Serve as a population health leader, improving outcomes for high-risk aging populations

• Build and advance an Age-Friendly Health System, integrating the IHI 4Ms into clinical practice and education

• Lead innovative care models for patients living with dementia and cognitive decline

• Partner with and support caregivers as essential members of the care team

• Teach and mentor fellows, residents, and interprofessional learners

• Serve as core faculty in the geriatric fellowship program with opportunities for leadership

• Collaborate across disciplines in a fully integrated, team-based care model

• Contribute to quality improvement, curriculum design, and scholarly work

Why The Wright Center

• Mission in Action: Advance health equity and access for underserved populations

• National Teaching Health Center Leader: Redefining how physicians are trained – where care is needed most

• Whole-Person Health Model: Integrated primary care, behavioral health, and social services

• Interprofessional Innovation: Work alongside a deeply collaborative care team

• Supportive Culture: Leadership that invests in your growth, purpose, and well-being

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and sign-on bonus

• CME allowance and dedicated time

• 100% employer-paid malpractice (including tail)

• Health, dental, and vision insurance

• 403(b) with generous employer contribution

• Generous PTO and paid holidays

• A workplace built around purpose, flexibility, and impact

Who You Are

• Board-certified in geriatric medicine (M.D. or D.O.)

• Passionate about transforming care for older adults

• Experienced – or deeply interested – in population health, dementia care, and team-based models

• Committed to teaching, mentorship, and innovation

• A collaborative clinician who believes in whole-person, relationship-centered care
