The Commonwealth Medical College, private medical school in Pennsylvania, United States
The Commonwealth Medical College is a private medical school on Pine Street in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The building contains classrooms, medical laboratories, and clinical training spaces where students develop hands-on skills throughout their program.
The school opened in 2008 after community leaders identified a shortage of physicians in the region. In 2016, it joined the Geisinger Health System, which brought it into a larger network of clinical resources and residency training.
The name of the school points to its goal of training doctors for the wider region, not just one city. On campus, students and faculty work side by side in shared spaces, which reflects the school's focus on hands-on, team-based medical care.
The campus sits on Pine Street in central Scranton and is easy to reach on foot from the surrounding area. Anyone planning a visit should contact the school in advance, as access to the building may be limited to students and staff.
Although the main address is in Scranton, students rotate through clinical sites in Wilkes-Barre, Danville, and Atlantic City during their training. Spreading clinical education across Pennsylvania and New Jersey is relatively rare for a school of this size.
