Kettering Health Network-Indu and Raj Soin Medical Center Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based family medicine program at Kettering Health's newest hospital, Soin Medical Center, oriented squarely toward full-scope, community-oriented primary care rather than research or subspecialty fellowship production. The curriculum emphasizes hands-on procedural training (POCUS integrated from PGY-1 through a dedicated elective and OSCE, obstetric ultrasound, office procedures) and offers named tracks—a Rural Pathway based at a Jamestown rural health clinic and a Global Health Pathway with funded international/underserved electives—that let residents specialize their training toward underserved and rural care. Clinical training spans a 157-bed community hospital, outpatient family medicine centers, an FQHC, a skilled nursing facility, and international/rural away sites, reflecting a strong institutional emphasis on caring for underserved, rural, and marginalized populations locally and abroad. Resident and alumni profiles show a heavy concentration of applicants with mission work, global health, osteopathic manipulation, lifestyle medicine, and rural upbringing narratives, indicating the program values whole-person, community-rooted, service-driven applicants over research or academic-track candidates.
