LVHN is a major clinical campus of the University of South Florida Health Morsani College of Medicine through the SELECT program. This affiliation strengthens our medical education. Third- and fourth-year SELECT students are permanently assigned to LVHN. Each year, the hospital provides elective and required rotations in more than 20 subspecialties for medical students preparing for their postgraduate training.

As one of the largest health networks in Pennsylvania, LVHN meets the medical needs of the population of the Lehigh Valley, eastern Pennsylvania, and western New Jersey. Our health care professionals serve patients with a wide spectrum of illness, while emphasizing preventive care. This spectrum of medical complexity promotes the ideal clinical environment for the education of medical students and physicians-in-training.  As a large quaternary care center with a community-focused mission, our trainees receive the best of both worlds to help formulate their future career goals.   In many ways, our hospital merges the resources and benefits of both community hospitals and large academic medical centers.

The challenging nature of LVHN's medical education programs is supported by a progressive department of medicine and a dedicated faculty of teaching physicians. These doctors, whose efforts focus primarily on patient care and post-graduate training, are also active in clinical research.

Modern facilities and state-of-the-art equipment underscore the hospital's priority of offering the best environment in which to learn, work and provide medical care. LVHN’s national reputation and recognition for quality and patient safety makes it ideal for medical education.
