Clinical Experience in a Comprehensive Setting

Fellows and residents receive their clinical training in the comprehensive campus of The Ohio State University Medical Center (OSUMC), with its 923 licensed beds, including the University Hospitals, the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Research Institute, OSU Hospitals East, and in fall 2004, the new, 212,300 square-foot Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital.

Patients in outpatient care are seen in the OSU Clinics, as well as any one of our 8 disease-specific Greater Columbus Health Centers and our 9 Statewide Health Centers.

Other clinical training sites include Veterans' Administration outpatient facility, Children's Hospital Adolescent Medicine Clinic, local nursing homes, Columbus City Health Clinics and the Community Medicine Program in the rural Ohio towns of Chillicothe and Bellefontaine.

New technology—from computerized order entry systems to advanced medical devices—offer patients state-of-the-art, high tech and high touch care. Modern Healthcare magazine named OSUMC as one of the “Most Wired” healthcare organizations for its leading edge technology. U.S. News & World Report ranks four of the Department’s divisions among “America’s Best”—kidney disease, lung disease, endocrine diseases and cancer.
