Family Medicine Residency

The Bethesda Family Medicine Residency Program began in 1987 and has produced more than 250 graduates who live all over the nation. Clinical work is performed throughout Cincinnati, but the majority of training is done at Bethesda North Hospital and at the Bethesda Family Medicine office. Other training facilities include Cincinnati Children’s Hospital and numerous physician offices across Cincinnati. We are primarily an unopposed program, but we train alongside OB residents for guidance and collaborative teaching. 

Since 2005 we have trained two Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellows per year. This fellowship is a one year, fourth year opportunity. The fellows work primarily with several well-known orthopedic specialists in Cincinnati and have the opportunity to work with athletes from area high schools, Xavier University, Mount St. Joseph University, Cincinnati Ballet and the Cincinnati Open Tennis Tournament. 

Our program consists of seven residents per year and two sports medicine fellows. Nine physicians make up our faculty, with personal interest consisting of women’s health, internal medicine, pediatrics, practice management, Health inequities, population health, epidemiology, addiction, endocrinology and sports medicine. Our program also consists of a tenth faculty member specializing in psychology and behavioral medicine. Our residents receive the chance to teach medical students from the University of Cincinnati and multiple other regional medical schools to truly cultivate their clinical knowledge.
