Message From the Chair
As the new Chair of the Department of Internal Medicine at Wright State University’s Boonshoft School of Medicine, I am honored to build upon the strong foundation established by those who came before me. I extend my sincere gratitude to Dr. Bryan Ludwig for his exceptional leadership as Interim Chair, guiding the department through a critical period of transition with clarity and stability. I am equally grateful to Dr. Glen Solomon, whose many years of service as Chair of Internal Medicine laid the foundation of the department.
A defining milestone in our continued evolution is the strengthened partnership between Wright State University and Premier Health. By combining the university's academic strengths with Premier Health's clinical expertise and broad reach, we are uniquely positioned to advance a shared vision: we care, teach, innovate, and serve. This vision embodies our commitment to our community, going beyond providing comprehensive, state-of-the-art clinical care to educating and engaging them in health care delivery.
Our department is dedicated to attracting and developing outstanding faculty, clinicians, and trainees who will succeed in today's evolving healthcare environment and shape its future. Our research efforts are focused on advancing evidence-based, high-value care; improving healthcare delivery systems; and fostering innovation in diagnosis and treatment. We are equally committed to efficiently translating new discoveries into clinical practice. As stewards of healthcare resources, we take our responsibility seriously to provide equitable, accessible care for all members of our community.
We invite you to explore our department and all that it offers. Our training programs are anchored at Miami Valley Hospital, a premier tertiary referral center with nearly a thousand beds and a long-standing reputation for clinical excellence across a wide range of specialties. Together with the other hospitals within its network, Premier Health provides comprehensive clinical care to nearly the entire Dayton metropolitan area, offering our learners exposure to a broad and diverse patient population. In addition, our strong partnerships with the Dayton VA Medical Center, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and Dayton Children’s Hospital further enrich the training environment. The Dayton region provides an exceptional place to live and work, with a strong sense of community and opportunity. Whether your interests lie in clinical care, education, or research, you will find a supportive, collaborative, and forward-looking environment here.
We look forward to welcoming you.
