Ohio State University College of Medicine

What Ohio State University College of Medicine does

The Ohio State University College of Medicine is a public medical college founded in 1914 and headquartered at 1645 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio, operating as part of The Ohio State University state university system. It serves medical students, graduate researchers, residents, fellows, and patients through MD, PhD, Masters, and more than 150 residency and fellowship programs (with 75+ ACGME-accredited). The college generates $477.3M in annual research funding (FY24), including $245.2M from NIH, and holds a Tier 1 (top 16) U.S. News & World Report ranking for research medical schools. It employs more than 2,800 faculty, nearly 5,000 learners, and over 4,000 staff members.

Its core educational infrastructure combines simulation-based learning and biomedical research facilities: the 18,000-square-foot Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Center with high-fidelity patient simulators and standardized patient programs; the Ophthalmology Surgery & Clinical Learning Center with a 3-D virtual reality surgical simulator, slit-lamp simulator, indirect ophthalmoscope simulator, and wet lab stations; the 5,000-square-foot Surgical Skills Lab at Jameson Crane Sports Medicine Institute; the Pelotonia Research Center housing 100+ labs and up to 1,000 researchers; and the 225,000-square-foot Interdisciplinary Health Sciences Center (opened 2024) supporting interprofessional education. Clinical training is delivered through integrated partnerships with The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center (7 hospitals, 100+ outpatient sites), Nationwide Children's Hospital (#6 nationally for pediatrics), and Mercy Health – St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid public-academic model: federal and non-federal research grants (NIH, VA, CDC, AHA, private foundations), clinical practice revenue routed through the affiliated Wexner Medical Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital, tuition from MD/PhD/Masters programs, and philanthropic gifts (including Cardinal Health's $1M gift to the Center for Psychiatry and Resilience). The college is mid-cycle on a $3B capital investment that includes an 820-bed inpatient hospital tower planned to open in 2026. Distribution relies on AMCAS-driven admissions, virtual interviews, multi-site clinical rotations, and partnerships with regional health systems for community-based training.
