About the Program
The Ohio State University Department of Internal Medicine provides a unique and dynamic learning environment for residents, stressing the importance of clinical excellence and dedication to scholarship. We receive some of the most medically complex cases across Ohio and neighboring states, and the volume of patients we treat gives each resident a rich and diverse training experience. Despite the challenge of providing such care, Ohio State benefits from true camaraderie between residents and faculty that focus on excellent patient care and resident education. And, our residents learn from one another as our medical teams often comprise members of our categorical, primary care, Internal Medicine/Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine, and Physician Scientist Training Program residencies.
Aside from clinical excellence, Ohio State provides countless opportunities for scholarly achievement. Whether through our structured Research Track or faculty-mentored projects, our residents consistently publish in high impact peer-reviewed journals and present their work at major national and international conferences. We also provide a comprehensive Leadership Curriculum which gives each resident a toolset for navigating the nuanced challenges that doctors will face throughout their careers. Finally, we are dedicated to achieve all these goals while maintaining a culture of wellness. With the guidance of our Wellness Committee we ensure our residents can enjoy life outside of medicine, and make some of the most meaningful friendships and memories of their lives.
