Our Teams

At Geisinger, we're not afraid to do things differently when it comes to delivering excellent care. That spirit of innovation and excellence drives everything we do – from our state-of-the-art emergency medical services program, to our new and expanding graduate medical education programs, to our progressive care models that focus on preventive care. These are just some of the ways we go above and beyond to help the communities we serve.

• Advanced Practice Providers:
  A vital part of our care team, Geisinger’s Emergency Medicine APPs can expect the best development resources and training to thrive in their role. Geisinger’s Department of Advanced Practice Providers serves to support our Advanced Practitioners and Advanced Practitioner students through interdepartmental consultation, benchmarking of best practices, professional practice standards, compensation, personnel management, and care delivery models. In addition to a comprehensive range of benefits, candidates also receive a $20k recruitment incentive to join our team.
• Pediatric Emergency Medicine:
  Striving to bring the expertise of Pediatric Emergency Medicine to rural communities across central Pennsylvania, we provide revolutionary approaches to local community outreach, including telemedicine and leveraging a robust EHR for pediatric-specific decision support to reach a previously PEM underserved population. Using nitrous sedation, we do our best to remain an “ouch-less” ED, with over 100 PEM trained nurses throughout the system to ensure quality, safety, and comfort. We offer dual appointments in Emergency Medicine & Pediatrics. Children admitted from our ED are cared for in Geisinger’s Janet Weis Children’s Hospital, a 90-bed, five-floor on-site children’s hospital that includes a 14-bed PICU and 41-bed NICU. Our children’s hospital provides a comprehensive range of pediatric services including a full array of medical and surgical subspecialties. Base salaries are generous (starting at $350k) and the cost of living is lower than in urban centers. With attractive recruitment incentives (including fellowship stipends while a committed candidate completes training), defined clinical hours (1,544/yr), and no overnight shifts, our physicians enjoy time away as well as time at work.
• Ultrasound:
  Collaboration and knowledge sharing are top-of-mind here. We offer system-wide clinical ultrasound administration opportunities, where everyone can collaborate across departments. There’s also a monthly multidisciplinary image review conference with different departments like Critical Care, Cardiology, and Sports Medicine. Our teams conduct weekly QA of images obtained in the emergency department, used to develop ultrasound quality improvement projects. Other perks include a one-year Accredited Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship within the Emergency Ultrasound Fellowship Accreditation Council, based at GMC (Danville, PA), as well as archiving and quality assurance services.
• Research:
  Our research team works closely with the EM residency program leadership to improve resident training and foster healthy intellectual dialogue. In 2023, our Emergency Department published 21 peer-reviewed articles and three book chapters/textbooks and presented our work at 70 scientific conferences. System-wide, we had >$57 million in external grant and contract revenue, >1,400 active research projects, including clinical trials, and >1,090 publications.
• EMS:
  We’re proud of our robust emergency medical services program that includes nine state-of-the-art Geisinger Life Flight® helicopters stationed at six bases and two Critical Care Ground Transports.
• Education:
  At Geisinger, ‘learning’ is one of our core values. Fortunately, our environment is uniquely suited, with diverse pathologies, patient populations, and acuities, to educate the best and brightest minds in medicine, including Geisinger Commonwealth School of Medicine students and Geisinger Emergency Medicine residents. We are excited to expand our graduate medical education of EM residents with our second EM residency program based at Geisinger Wyoming Valley in Wilkes-Barre, PA (coming in 2026). Our first program, established in 1976 at Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, PA, is one of the oldest of its kind and maintains full accreditation from the ACGME Residency Review Committee.
• System Triage Officers:
  When our ED patients need expedited transfers within the health system, we rely on our System Triage Officers (STOs) to help make it happen. Geisinger’s STOs are Emergency Medicine physicians who work virtually to ensure proper patient movement throughout the health system.
• Trauma:
  Our trauma centers provide immediate care for patients with severe or life-threatening injuries. Geisinger Medical Center and Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center are Level 1 trauma centers, equipped to provide the highest level of trauma care to those who are critically ill or injured.
