Celebrating 50 years of excellence: Family Medicine Residency Program graduates its 50th class

Main Line Health is proud to celebrate a remarkable milestone: the graduation of the 50th class of Family Medicine residents. For half a century, this exceptional program has been shaping the future of primary care by training compassionate, highly skilled physicians who go on to care for patients in communities across the Main Line and beyond.

Since its founding in 1974, the Family Medicine Residency Program at Bryn Mawr Hospital has upheld a strong tradition of academic and clinical excellence, as well as a deep commitment to community-based care. From its earliest days, the program has focused on developing well-rounded family physicians prepared to serve as both medical experts and trusted partners in health for patients of all ages.

With a focus on both education and patient-centered care, the program blends hands-on clinical experience with robust academic learning. Residents train across a range of settings — from their ambulatory practice center to inpatient hospital services — gaining the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to lead in today’s evolving healthcare landscape.

More than just a training program, the Family Medicine Residency Program has long served as a pipeline for talent, bringing new physicians into Main Line Health and local practices throughout the region. Many graduates stay to practice locally, contributing to the health and well-being of the very community where they trained.

The program is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. It offers residents the best of both worlds: access to cutting-edge medical education and the opportunity to care for patients in a close-knit, community-focused environment.

As we celebrate this 50-year milestone, Main Line Health is filled with gratitude for the faculty, staff and residents — past and present — who have made this program such a success. Their dedication ensures that the tradition of excellence continues for the next generation of family physicians.
