Residents primarily engage in their training at the state-of-the-art Family Practice Center located in Grove City, where they handle outpatient medical and preventive care.
In the second year, junior residents participate in patient interactions four to five half-days each week, while senior residents continue this practice unless engaged in a full month out rotation. Additionally, residents rotate through OhioHealth Doctors Hospital and the renowned Nationwide Children’s Hospital for vital inpatient rotation experiences.

The program emphasizes both clinical and procedural education. The structured rotations include:
- Family Practice: Extensive ambulatory experience totaling 2.5 blocks in PGY1, 10 blocks in PGY2, and 10 blocks in PGY3.
- Internal Medicine: Six months, incorporating hospital-based and ambulatory experiences for cognitive and procedure-oriented training.
- Surgery: Four blocks, focusing on outpatient experiences in orthopedics, urology, general surgery, and otorhinolaryngology.
- Obstetrics and Gynecology: Three months with an emphasis on office gynecology, enhanced through experience at the Women’s Health Clinic at Doctors Hospital.
- Pediatrics: A comprehensive four-and-a-half months rotating through hospital-based clinics, private practices, and a pediatric hospital.

- Electives: Opportunities to pursue one month in PGY1, two months in PGY2, and three months in PGY3.
