Residency Site

OSU General Internal Medicine

OSU General Internal Medicine (OSUGIM) is a network of 8 primary care clinics throughout the central Ohio area and is the primary outpatient site for the nationally-recognized The Ohio State University
Internal Medicine Residency program. Pharmacy residents at this site will interact with more than 100 medical residents, 80 attending physicians, and have access to more than 70,000 patients in an interdisciplinary education-based setting across the network. The pharmacy resident has opportunities to work with physicians in helping design therapeutic plans for the management of chronic disease states such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes, anticoagulation, asthma, chronic non-malignant pain and depression/anxiety, along with a variety of acute care issues. Collaborative practice opportunities exist with the team-based environment including, but not limited to, diabetes, hypertension, depression, anxiety, nicotine use disorder, HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis, weight management, and substance use disorder; with more to come.

Patient interaction is encouraged through diabetes, weight management, and asthma device teaching, individualized medication counseling, comprehensive medication review, and transitional care management. OSUGIM is a two-time winner of the APhA Foundation Pinnacle Award, first recognized along with the Ohio State University College of Pharmacy in 2015 for the robust pharmacy services offered within the division and again in 2025 for the Team Award in recognition of an innovative remote physiologic monitoring program for hypertension developed and implemented by pharmacist across all of OSU primary care.

Pharmacists are consulted for patient care needs on demand and see patients for scheduled visits between seeing their primary care provider to adjust and monitor medications and assess patients progress toward goals. Additionally, pharmacists provide timely care for patients during transitions of care, complete comprehensive medication reviews, and engage in the development and execution of population health strategies. OSUGIM pharmacists strive to create innovative models of care while justifying their role as integral members of the primary care team.

The pharmacy resident plays a vital role in providing answers to drug information questions and educating other health care professionals on pertinent medication-related issues. The pharmacy resident also develops and delivers educational presentations to medical residents as part of an ambulatory curriculum.

The primary clinics are located at the Martha Morehouse Medical Plaza, adjacent to
The Ohio State University, and Outpatient Care East near OSU East Hospital.
