Wright State University-Dayton Community Hospitals Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated, community-based family medicine residency anchored at a Federally Qualified Health Center serving an urban, underserved population, with an unopposed resident-led inpatient service at Miami Valley Hospital providing full-spectrum inpatient training within a tertiary-care setting. The program's identity centers on comprehensive primary care for vulnerable populations, evidenced by Centering Pregnancy group prenatal care, onsite behavioral health and MAT/addiction infrastructure, a sponsored Addiction Medicine fellowship, refugee and global health tracks, and street medicine outreach. Scholarly activity is woven throughout (departmental grants in SBIRT, MAT, opioid tapering, VR-based equity training) and residents graduate with options spanning community and academic practice, hospitalist medicine, and fellowships (sports medicine, hospice/palliative, geriatrics, addiction), indicating a program that values clinical breadth and leadership development over a single fixed career pipeline. Distinctive features include advanced procedural training with cadaver labs, POCUS, OMM exposure, a longitudinal leadership curriculum with MPH/MBA support, and named community partnerships (HBCU clinical experiences, Dayton VA, Women's Recovery Center).
