Current
Residents
The residents in our family medicine
residency program are a diverse
group of individuals. They represent
many different countries and
cultures around the world. This is
another asset of our program – the
ample opportunity to interact and
study with people of differing
backgrounds. It will enhance your
personal and professional growth
while you are here.
Please feel free to e-mail any of
our current residents with your
questions. Communicating with them
is an excellent way to learn more
about the numerous opportunities
available to you through our
residency program.

“Being from Seoul (an overcrowded city with 15 million people), I found Toledo to
be a breath of fresh air. Some of the positives include: less traffic; quiet and
peaceful; affordable living on a resident's salary alone; friendly people; a few
hours drive to great lakes and beaches; great BBQ; and location close to airport
and major interstate highways. I'm also glad to be a part of this resident class.
We have access to all of the amenities of a university program but are located in
a community setting. We also have the benefit of being an unopposed program with
St. Luke's Hospital. I am looking forward to the remainder of my training!” |
