Why Ohio State?

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the Ohio State University Medical Center Graduate Medical Education web site. We appreciate your interest in our training programs and hope that you find the information and links on this website helpful in your search for a program that is right for you. At the OSU Medical Center, our mission is clear: to improve people's lives through innovation in research, education and patient care. A residency or fellowship experience here is unlike any other.

You will train and work alongside some of the country's top doctors as you further develop your medical knowledge and clinical skills. Your experience will include nationally recognized research, cutting-edge technologyand will include award winning information systems.

Residents and fellows at The OSU Medical Center develop not only as world-class clinicians, but also as great people. The OSU campus, Columbus and central Ohio offer a wide variety of cultural, sporting and social opportunities for you to take advantage of outside of the hospital. As the 15th largest city in the US with over 1 million people, Columbus has a comparatively low cost of living and the feel of a college town – especially during football season! Columbus is both a great place to raise a family and a young city with a lot of social opportunities. Rotations at some of the nation's top health facilities give our housestaff the opportunity to work in a contemporary learning environment.

The rich history of medical education at Ohio State is built upon our combination of terrific faculty, outstanding students and housestaff and a commitment to improving the lives of our patients through innovative research and patient care. We encourage you to explore what The Ohio State Medical Center has to offer, and we hope that you will make us part of your future in medicine.
