West Chester Hospital is a 150 bed, full-service hospital including OB, ICU, ER, and newborn care. We are thrilled to partner with Cincinnati Children’s Hopsital Medical Center (CCHMC), one of the top pediatric hospitals in the nation! Our residents will complete their inpatient peds, pediatric emergency medicine, and peds specialty rotations at the CCHMC’s Liberty Campus, less than 3 miles from the West Chester Hospital.
West Chester Hospital and CCHMC Liberty are staffed by UC and CCHMC faculty. This gives us all the benefits of a community program with the resources and expertise of a university department. Our Family Medicine Practice (FMP), West Chester Hospital, CCHMC Liberty Campus, and our specialty outpatient clinics are integrated into this community. Most residency rotations are walking distance or a short drive from the FMP.
We recently opened our new FMP for the faculty/resident practice. It is a newly renovated space designed specifically for resident education and we are quite proud of it!
Our curriculum emphasizes community medicine, inclusion, and diversity, and to that end we have partners including Primary Health Solutions (an FQHC and school based health center in Hamilton, OH), Planned Parenthood of Southwest Ohio, Butler County Department of Health, Heritage Springs (a skilled nursing and extended care facility), and the Barrington Assisted Living Center.
Being a part of the UC Department of Family Medicine also allows the residents to take advantage of our large and diverse faculty and services, including our Research Division; Integrative Health Division; Student Health Services; Geriatric Division; and Urban, Underserved, and Global Health Division. We are excited to collaborate with our department’s sibling program, the long-standing Christ Hospital-UC Family Medicine Program. Our FMP also hosts and teaches UC College of Medicine medical students throughout their four years of training.
We look forward to meeting you and discussing our program in further detail.

The University of Toledo Family Medicine Residency Program is a community-based, university affiliated residency program which is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). Our residency blends the real-world experiences of a community hospital with the academic and technological advantages of a university-affiliated medical center. Our primary goal is to provide a supportive learning environment that is conducive to your development as a competent and caring family physician. Our residency program values each resident as part of its team. We recently increased our residency compliment to a 6-6-6 program
Our three-year program prepares residents for the unique challenges and rewards faced by today’s family physicians, both in the inpatient and outpatient settings. As primary care physicians, you will be expected to possess a broad spectrum of abilities. You will be responsible for coordinating and managing the preventive, continuous, and comprehensive care of your patients. Our program includes a practice management and a behavioral science curriculum to better prepare you for the demands of a family practice. In addition, electives offered over the three years enable you to explore areas of interest or to strengthen your clinical knowledge and skill base.
Osteopathic Recognition – The University of Toledo Family Medicine Residency also offers the option of ACGME Osteopathic Recognition to qualified residents. Residents entering the program with a Doctor of Osteopathy degree are considered for Osteopathic Recognition. Experienced osteopathic faculty provide both outpatient and inpatient training in osteopathic principles and manipulative techniques. Further reinforcement of the osteopathic approach is provided through our regular journal club, weekly didactics, hands-on workshops, and osteopathic focused scholarly activities. All faculty within our Department of Family Medicine embrace the holistic principles of osteopathic medicine making The University of Toledo Family Medicine Residency and The University of Toledo Medical Center an excellent destination to continue your training in osteopathic medicine.
Lifestyle Medicine – Lifestyle Medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine – a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections – also provides effective prevention for these conditions.
We have a diverse faculty composed of faculty members from The University of Toledo Department of Family Medicine who are committed to providing residents with an outstanding education in family medicine, and strive to create a supportive, family-friendly learning environment.
In addition to our Family Medicine Practice, our location also houses radiology, a lab, and a pharmacy, which allows patients to receive quality and convenient care under one roof.
Residents also have scheduled time throughout the year in our state-of-the-art Interprofessional Immersive Simulation Center which houses a virtual immersive reality center, an advanced clinical simulation center, and a progressive anatomy and surgical skills center.
Residents and their families have access to many activities found in major metropolitan areas without the hassles of big city life, including the Toledo Museum of Art, Mud Hens baseball, Toledo Walleye hockey, the Toledo Zoo, Cedar Point amusement park, golf courses, and several metro parks.
We welcome the opportunity to tell you more about our program and the opportunities we can provide for you.

Wright State University Rural Family Medicine Residency Program (38)
5735 Meeker Rd.
Greenville, OH 45331
The Wright State University (WSU) Rural Family Medicine Residency Program will be a 1+2 Rural Training Pathway (RTP). Resident rotations in the first year will be in Dayton, OH, with WSU’s established Family Medicine Residency Program, and rotations in the second and third years will be in Greenville, OH, in rural Darke County, located an hour from Dayton. This model gives residents robust clinical experiences in an urban area that are difficult to replicate in a rural area, such as inpatient pediatrics, while still providing the majority of the training in a rural community, hospital, and clinic. The WSU Rural Family Medicine Program is ACGME accredited.
Our mission is clear. We will train family physicians in a small-town, supportive setting that emphasizes one-on-one mentorship and forges lasting relationships with patients, faculty, and the community.
