Internal Medicine Residency

Good Samaritan Hospital, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, established its internal medicine residency program to address the growing need for trained physicians in the community. The hospital itself has a rich history, founded in 1852 by the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, with a mission to provide compassionate care to all individuals. As the oldest and largest private teaching and specialty health care facility in Greater Cincinnati, TriHealth’s Good Samaritan Hospital is among the best hospitals in the region, providing a range of quality services to patients in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky.

The Internal Medicine residency program received its ACGME accreditation on February 26, 1958. The Good Samaritan Residency Program in Internal Medicine is affiliated with the University of Cincinnati. 

Throughout its history, the internal medicine residency program at Good Samaritan Hospital has been at the forefront of several innovations in medical education. The program has continually updated its curriculum to reflect the latest in medical research and clinical practice. Key milestones include the incorporation of simulation training, evidence-based medicine, and interdisciplinary teamwork into the residency experience.

Our internal medicine residency program is approved for 33 positions, divided among three PGY classes. Our residents' rotations are scheduled at multiple TriHealth facilities, including the two main hospitals, Good Samaritan Hospital and Bethesda North Hospital. TriHealth has the largest ambulatory primary care and specialty footprint in Cincinnati. 

Our residency program fosters a collegial training environment. We stand out as the only program that has established an Associate Program Director of Culture and Communication, along with a Chief Resident of Culture and Belonging. These roles aim to cultivate a program identity rooted in the diverse cultural backgrounds of our residents and faculty.
