Why Choose Family Medicine at O'Bleness Hospital
Our residency program is designed to bring you up to speed smoothly, while learning from the best minds in the field.
A Strong Curriculum That Opens Doors
We prepare you in all areas of family medicine, blending rural and urban experiences.
Our comprehensive training offers many opportunities not typically available in rural programs. Your practice will span prenatal to pediatric and geriatric care, and emergency, surgery, ICU and subspecialty medicine, including fellowship preparation. Urban, academic and rural experiences will connect you with many local underserved patients.
Faculty will work one-on-one with each resident to ensure mastery of Osteopathic Manipulative medicine and clinic-based procedures, such as joint injections. As you progress through residency you will gain both increasing responsibility and valuable experience rotating in a variety of services such as obstetrics and gynecology, sports, hospital and addiction medicine to prepare you for independent practice.
Your Success Starts Here.
Our graduates succeed and lead in rural, urban, solo and group family medicine practice or as fellowship-trained specialists, subspecialists and faculty. Your post-residency training opportunities include a year of osteopathic neuromusculoskeletal medicine residency and a diabetes fellowship for primary care providers.

Our pediatric training provides an opportunity to care for patients from birth through adolescence. Board-certified pediatricians and family medicine residents work in tandem to care for younger patients during the pediatric clinic- a unique benefit to the OhioHealth O’Bleness Family Medicine Residency.

Family medicine physicians who run the clinic are Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty and actively provide a wide scope of education for residents throughout rotations.

Residents with an interest in sports medicine will have an opportunity to work alongside osteopathic sports medicine physicians and provide medical services to college athletes.
