The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, part of one of the most comprehensive health sciences campuses in the country and the only academic medical center in central Ohio, is at the forefront of medicine, where discovery and innovation in research laboratories make unique, effective therapies available to patients months, even years, before other hospitals.
These initiatives are taking place within Ohio State’s College of Medicine, more than a dozen affiliated research centers and seven hospitals, in which more than 60,000 inpatients receive medical care annually. The hospitals include University Hospital and East Hospital, the medical center’s two full-service hospitals; Richard M. Ross Heart Hospital, dedicated to the study, treatment and prevention of cardiovascular diseases; Ohio State Harding Hospital, an inpatient and outpatient psychiatric hospital; Dodd Rehabilitation Hospital, one of America’s best rehabilitation centers; and the Brain and Spine Hospital, with specialized units for stroke care, neurotrauma and traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries and spine surgery, epilepsy, chronic pain, acute rehabilitation and neurosurgery. In addition, we have a unified physician practice, representing more than 2,000 preeminent physicians, and a network of community-based primary and subspecialty care facilities that manage more than two million patient visits each year.
Adjacent to the medical center is The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, a dedicated cancer hospital and research center with its own governance structure coordinated with the medical center.
In the 2024 edition of “Best Graduate Schools,” U.S. News & World Report ranked Ohio State’s College of Medicine 28th among America’s 185 accredited research medical schools. Admission to the medical school is competitive, with more than 7,200 applications for 200 admissions annually.
