Here is a sampling of what makes our residency exceptional:

  • Our residency is located at a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) that is dedicated to providing quality care to a diverse, underserved urban population.
  • Comprehensive family medicine training in an urban setting with onsite pharmacy, pharmacist consultation, behavioral health support including: substance-use counselors, social workers, community health workers, and psychiatry.
  • Cutting-edge outpatient care strategies including Centering Pregnancy group-based prenatal care.
  • Refugee Care and Global Health opportunities.
  • Advanced procedure clinic, training in Point of Care Ultrasound, OMM, and ongoing training that includes cadaver-based experiences for all residents twice per year.
  • Second-to-none pediatrics training including dedicated inpatient and pediatric ED rotations at Dayton Children’s Hospital as well as a very large outpatient pediatric population at our family health center.
  • Fantastic scholarly and teaching opportunities within the Wright State University Department of Family Medicine—perfect for residents interested in academic medicine!
  • Active urban, underserved outreach opportunities including street medicine,  substance use care, and junior high and high school mentoring. We also have clinical experiences at a local HBCU.
  • Unopposed, resident-led family medicine inpatient service within a large, award-winning, tertiary-care medical center, Miami Valley Hospital. This really is the best of both worlds for family medicine residents who wish to master inpatient medical care.
