About

The Department of Family and Community Medicine is involved in nearly every aspect of NEOMED’s curriculum. This includes introductory psychosocial and clinical medicine courses, required M3 clerkships, and M4 electives and research opportunities. We also offer family medicine residency programs in four cities and lead a Fellowship in Academic Medicine (FAME) program with over 200 graduates since 1990.

We are also home strong programmatic offices, including Ohio’s Region III Area Health Education Center (AHEC), the administrative offices of the Consortium of Eastern Ohio Master of Public Health (CEOMPH) Program, strong educational Offices of Geriatric Medicine and of Palliative Care, and a unique Office of Public Health Practice that is home to the first-in-the-nation academically affiliated departments of public health. Our Bioethics Certificate Program is also available for medicine and pharmacy students. We also proudly sponsor the annual William Carlos Williams Poetry Competition, which is open to all medical student poets.
