TriHealth Good Samaritan Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Good Samaritan Hospital's Internal Medicine Residency is a university-affiliated (University of Cincinnati), community-rooted program based at Cincinnati's oldest and largest private teaching hospital, blending faith-based institutional heritage with a tertiary-level clinical environment across TriHealth's Good Samaritan and Bethesda North campuses. The program emphasizes evidence-based practice, value-based medicine, interdisciplinary collaboration, and cultural competency, reinforced by dedicated leadership roles (Associate Program Director of Culture and Communication, Chief Resident of Culture and Belonging) that are unusual among IM programs. Career direction is not fellowship-first but broadly physician-leadership focused, with an explicit 100% board pass rate goal and emphasis on producing well-rounded internists rather than a stated subspecialty pipeline. The program values active participation in one's own education, professionalism, and enjoyment of the work alongside diligence, rather than positioning itself as a research-heavy or purely academic powerhouse.
