Osteopathic Recognition

The University of Toledo Family Medicine Residency offers the option of ACGME Osteopathic Recognition to qualified residents. Residents entering the program with a Doctor of Osteopathy degree are considered for Osteopathic Recognition.  Experienced osteopathic faculty provide both outpatient and inpatient training in osteopathic principles and manipulative techniques. Further reinforcement of the osteopathic approach is provided through our regular journal club, weekly didactics, hands-on workshops, and osteopathic focused scholarly activities. All faculty within our department of Family Medicine embrace the holistic principles of osteopathic medicine making The University of Toledo Family Medicine Residency and The University of Toledo Medical Center an excellent destination to continue your training in osteopathic medicine.


Lifestyle medicine

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, wholeperson, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine — a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connections — also provides effective prevention for these conditions.


Interprofessional Immersive Simulation Center (IISC)

Developed primarily to positively impact patient safety and improve the quality of care by training UToledo and Northwest Ohio health care professionals using simulation models, simulated clinical settings, virtual immersive environments and medical visualization. The IISC also serves as a hub for innovation and the fostering of industry partnerships to create and develop new products, processes and procedures.

Affiliation with ProMedica Health System

In May 2015, The University of Toledo College of Medicine and Life Sciences announced a partnership with Toledo-based health system ProMedica. The partnership establishes a 50-year affiliation between the College and the health system that enriches the quality of medical education and expands clinical training capacity in Toledo.

Beginning with the 2016-2017 academic year, the transition of UToledo residents to ProMedica facilities for their training began. ProMedica assists the College with teaching and research as well as providing a $250 million capital investment in new College facilities. ProMedica Toledo and ProMedica Russel J. Ebeid Children's Hospital are being developed as a flagship academic medical center. The larger facility offers more opportunities for specialty training and education.

Resident Wellness/Resiliency

The ACGME's program requirements emphasize that "psychological, emotional, and physical well-being are critical in the development of the competent, caring, and resilient physician." Our program is committed to addressing physician well-being as it relates to the learning and working environment. Our faculty psychologist, who is also the Director of Behavioral Health, meets regularly with the residents for presentations and/or activities that are directly related to wellness and resiliency.

CommunityCare Clinic (CCC)

The CCC prides itself as being one of the few student-run organizations at The University of Toledo to provide medical students with "hands-on" clinical experience. In 2010, the CCC began providing free, comprehensive healthcare services to people who are under-insured at the Perrysburg Heights Free Medical Clinic. In March 2013, the clinic moved to the Cedar Creek Church in South Toledo and is now under the name CommunityCare Free Medical Clinic. Triage and patient interviews are performed by teams of community nurse volunteers and nursing, pharmacy, physician assistant, and medical students to ensure thorough and comprehensive care. Students confer with a physician preceptor, who makes all decisions regarding patient care. With the support of local physicians and generous donations from the community, we are able to offer services and most medications at low to no cost. Of note, the FM residents are required to volunteer at least four times a year at the CCC.
