Academic focus opportunity
Our academic focus provides a unique opportunity for residents to prepare for a career in academic family medicine. The academic focus is designed to lead to a post graduate MPH or MBA degree in addition to providing outstanding clinical training leading to board certification. It includes emphasis on these areas:
- Teaching
- Management/administration
- Scholarship and research
- Leadership
There are research and scholarly requirements that go beyond those of the typical family medicine resident. Intense course work in this area is completed in the year after graduation where you will simultaneously serve as a junior faculty member within the department.
For those who meet the criteria for graduate school, this track is also designed to lead to an advanced degree–either an MPH degree from The Ohio State University College of Public Health or an MBA degree from the The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business.
