ACGME-Accredited Osteopathic Internship, Residency and Fellowship Programs
Of America’s 80,000 doctors of osteopathy, over 60 percent are primary care physicians (PCPs). By 2020, more than 100,000 DOs will be in active practice, but research shows there will still be a shortage of PCPs, most keenly felt in rural and inner-city areas.
Northeast Ohio’s University Hospitals is easing this shortage. The Department of Medical Education at University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center is committed to the enhancement of osteopathic principles and practice through our comprehensive internship, residency and fellowship programs:
