Bayhealth Celebrates New Physician Residents Matches

Bayhealth is pleased to welcome 33 new physician residents who will begin training across Kent and Sussex counties this July, expanding access to care for the community.

Matched through National Match Day on March 20, the incoming residents will join Bayhealth’s four Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs: emergency medicine, internal medicine, family medicine and general surgery. These doctors will train in both hospital and community-based settings, caring for local patients while continuing their medical education and helping meet the growing health care needs of local families.

Since launching in 2019, Bayhealth’s residency programs have become an important part of patient care. Over the past three years alone, residents have helped care for nearly 39,000 patients — expanding appointment availability, supporting care teams and improving access to services.

Many of the new residents come from regional partner schools, including Drexel University and the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM), where Bayhealth serves as a Core Clinical Campus.

“Our residency programs not only train the next generation of physicians but also strengthen access to high-quality care right here in our community,” said Bayhealth’s Senior Vice President & Chief Medical Officer, Gary Siegelman, MD, MSc, CPE.

Bayhealth remains committed to growing its physician workforce and improving the health of the community it serves.
