Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, mission-driven rural family medicine residency using a distinctive 1+2 training pathway: the intern year is spent in Dayton at Miami Valley Hospital and Dayton Children's Hospital, followed by two years in Greenville at Wayne HealthCare and Family Health Services of Darke County, a federally qualified health center serving a designated Health Professional Shortage Area. The curriculum emphasizes deep obstetrics, gynecology, and geriatrics training through both block and longitudinal experiences, and residents work alongside dental, pharmacy, optometry, and behavioral health providers in a genuinely interprofessional rural clinic. Research is present department-wide (HRSA grants, SBIRT/MAT and opioid-tapering initiatives, resident scholarly projects) but the program's core identity is community-embedded primary care generalism rather than academic output. The program explicitly values one-on-one mentorship, humility, resilience, and long-term commitment to underserved rural practice over prestige or subspecialization.

Who it fits

The natural fit is an applicant whose ERAS narrative centers on rural or underserved primary care commitment, community health center experience, and comfort with small-town, relationship-based, broad-scope generalist practice rather than subspecialty or urban academic ambitions.

Research intensity

Low - research opportunities exist departmentally and residents complete scholarly projects, but the program's identity and curriculum are oriented toward clinical rural generalist training rather than research output.

Career orientation

Primary Care

Important

Interview preference is given to applicants who demonstrate a passion for rural medical practice, are fully committed to family medicine as a career path, have engaged in community service activities, and are dedicated to diversity, inclusion, and equity; a question on the request-information form also asks whether applicants have lived in a small town or rural Ohio community.
