On January 14, the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine’s Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG) hosted a Lunch & Learn session for medical students to hear about family medicine career pathways and student member benefits from the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) and the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
OAFP members Amanda Goodale, DO; Shraddha Srivastava, DO; and Anthony Wetherington, MD; joined the event to share their educational and career paths in family medicine. Dr. Goodale focused on sports medicine, Dr. Srivastava focused on women’s health, and Dr. Wetherington focused on rural and hospital medicine.
Dr. Goodale is faculty at the TriHealth Family Medicine Residency Program and associate program director for the TriHealth Sports Medicine Fellowship. She attended medical school at the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, continued her training at the TriHealth Family Medicine Residency Program where she was chief resident, and completed a sports medicine fellowship at TriHealth. She enjoys her roles providing medical guidance for a number of schools and athletic organizations in the Cincinnati, OH, area and working as special event staff to provide care for athletic events.
Dr. Srivastava provides outpatient care to patients of all ages at a practice in Middletown, OH. She attended medical school at the A.T. Still University and continued her training at the Summa Health Family Medicine Residency Program at the Akron, OH, campus.

Dr. Wetherington is chief of staff at Highland District Hospital in Hillsboro, OH. He attended medical school at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and continued his training at the Clinton Memorial Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program.
