At Ohio State, we are continuously seeking to improve medical education to meet the needs of our state, nation and world. It means that Ohio State educators are constantly looking for innovative ways to help you become the best physician you can be.
We offer you two choices of curricula during Med 1 and Med 2, allowing you to select the method of learning that works best for you - the Integrated and Independent Study pathways.
You will gain clinical experiences early in your first year working with a faculty member seeing patients and through the Clinical Assessment and Problem Solving (CAPS) course. You will work with a community service agency in your first through the community project.
Outside the curriculum, you will have many opportunities for patient interaction and skill building through The Columbus Free Clinic, La Clinica Latina, the Asian Health Initiative Free Clinic, and the Physician Free Clinic as well as through the many interest groups.
