Exceptional Training For The Next Generation Of Internal Medicine Physicians

As a resident at The Christ Hospital, you'll work with a group of exceptional, board-certified internists and subspecialists who are leaders in their fields. As faculty members, they are committed to training the next generation of internal medicine physicians. You'll have an individualized, one-on-one learning experience that ensures you can achieve your full potential to provide the same outstanding level of patient care.  

Many of our attending physicians are graduates of our internal medicine program who have remained with The Christ Hospital team or returned after specialist training. Many of our physicians are recognized as the best local doctors by Cincinnati Magazine.
