The Riverside Family Medicine Residency is located at Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus, Ohio. We offer the best of a thriving community practice experience within a busy tertiary medical center. Our family medicine center is a team-based practice that sees nearly 20,000 outpatient visits per year . Our inpatient experiences provide solid training in adult acute care, obstetrics, pediatrics, and newborns. Scholarship, research, Evidence Based Medicine and Quality Improvement are integrated into all three years of training. All of our residents graduate with a solid foundation of Family Medicine knowledge and skills, but the curriculum’s flexibility allows each resident to develop individual interests as well.
Collaboration with the other residencies at Riverside is exceptional, and the work environment, both in the office and in the hospitals, is supportive and collegial. Our faculty are dedicated to excellence in patient care and education; their expertise includes advanced training in geriatrics, sports medicine, adolescent medicine, addiction medicine, faculty development and public health.
Riverside Family Medicine Residency has an established tradition of excellence. Our graduates are well-rounded family physicians who provide compassionate, evidence-based patient care in the ever-changing world of 21st century medicine.
