Michael Bradley D.O.,
Assistant Director and Medical Student Coordinator

Dr. Bradley is a graduate of our own SJMC Family Practice Residency Program. Dr. Bradley is dedicated to teaching students and is the clerkship director. He attended Susquehanna University before studying medicine at PCOM. After graduating from PCOM, he completed his internship at St. Joseph's Hospital in Philadelphia. He decided to move closer to his hometown roots of Schuylkill County and came to Reading for his residency. After residency, Dr. Bradley remained here with the residency program and also worked in the Emergency Room. He is certified in hyperbaric medicine.

My vision of the Family Practice rotation for medical students at St. Joseph Medical Center would include direct hands on patient care opportunities in dealing with a diverse patient population. Students would have the ability to work directly with all providers, attendings, residents, physician assistants and nurse practitioners, and participate in treatment decisions. Students here work in a comfortable, non-threatening atmosphere providing the best possible educational environment.

One morning per week is devoted to direct teaching and education geared to medical students. This time also allows for direct feedback and allows opportunity for the students to become teachers themselves.

Other educational opportunities in areas such as specialty clinics, procedure training, nursing home visits, homebound patient visits, migrant farm visits, and other student specific interests can all be possible. Overall, this rotation allows students to gain a vast array of knowledge while learning traditional osteopathic family medicine and even exploring particular interests along the way.

Dr. Bradley enjoys sports, traveling, scuba diving, pets, photography and time with his wife and son.
