What Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine does

Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine (BSOM) is a public medical school established in 1976 in Dayton, Ohio, operating as a component of Wright State University within the State of Ohio university system. The school delivers medical education through a community-based model, training approximately 460 medical students in MD, MD/PhD, MD/MBA, and MD/MPH programs, alongside approximately 420 residents and fellows across 12 ACGME-accredited residency programs and 15 fellowship programs. Clinical training is delivered through nine affiliated teaching hospitals rather than a university-owned hospital, with approximately 485 full-time faculty and more than 1,280 voluntary faculty supporting education and clinical care delivery.

BSOM generates revenue through four primary streams: medical education tuition, graduate medical education funding, extramural research grants from sources including NIH, NASA, AHA, ODH, and private foundations, and clinical care revenue from approximately 500,000 patient visits annually. The school's distribution strategy relies on national admissions channels (AMCAS for medical students, ERAS for residents), supplemented by direct partnerships with regional hospital systems including Premier Health, Kettering Health, Dayton Children's Hospital, Dayton VA Medical Center, and Wright-Patterson Medical Center. The school operates an ACCME-accredited Continuing Medical Education program with commendation and runs alumni development and advancement programs.

The school's product portfolio is anchored by its traditional four-year MD program, supplemented by accelerated (MD-in-Three), combined research (MD/PhD), and dual-degree (MD/MBA, MD/MPH) pathways through the Physician Leadership Development Program. Notable differentiators include being the first U.S. medical school to implement Team-Based Learning, the Wright Rural Medical Scholars program addressing rural healthcare workforce needs in West Central Ohio, the Wright State University and Premier Health Neuroscience Institute designated as a University System of Ohio Center of Excellence with a $37 million Neuroscience Engineering Collaboration Building completed in 2015, and a pioneering history in academic emergency medicine as the fourth full Department of Emergency Medicine in the United States (1980).
