Prior to entering medical school, Dr. Ambrose was a corporate pilot where he logged 2,500 hours of flight time. Upon returning to college in his hometown of Pittsburgh, Dr. Ambrose completed his studies with a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Pittsburgh. He then entered the Temple University School of Medicine and subsequently did his training in Family Medicine at The Williamsport Regional Medical Center where he was Chief Resident. He entered private practice in a small community of 2,700 people, providing a full range of family medicine services, including obstetrics. After six years of solo practice, Dr. Ambrose began to pursue his interest in academic medicine and took a position at another family medicine residency program in central Pennsylvania. He taught there for two and a half years before returning to Williamsport and has been the Program Director at Williamsport since 1995. He has clinical interests in neurology and cardiology and continues to offer obstetrical care to his private patients.
In addition to enjoying his family, including four children and three grandchildren, Dr. Ambrose's personal interests show that he is a huge baseball fan. He also enjoys a round of golf when he can find the time. His love of baseball has led him to volunteer ten days of his time every August to provide medical services as the Medical Director of the Little League World Series with the assistance of the Family Medicine resident staff.
