Lifestyle in the Area

Toledo is a mid-size city with an affordable cost of living, manageable traffic and many amenities. We have the Toledo Zoo, Toledo Mud Hens at Fifth Third Field and the Huntington Center which hosts national entertainment. If you like the outdoors, we have Metro Parks with trails and sites to bring you and nature closer together. The downtown business renovation brings a variety of nightlife options.

What to Expect

You will find a caring, supportive environment to learn in over the next four years. The attendings and residents alike are committed to resident teaching and developing skills with appropriate oversight as the four years progress.

The patient population is a very high risk population with lots of pathology – this is ideal for learning. The continuity clinic which is in close proximity to the hospital allows for follow up and ownership over difficult cases and transfer of cares from all over Northeast Ohio. 

Call Schedule 

Residents can anticipate one to two weekends off a month with increasing time off as the four years progress. OB Night float is Sunday night until Thursday night with coverage being provided by call coverage Friday through Sunday.

Average Hours a Week

On average our residents work 60 hours a week however that varies depending on what service you are on. For example: Obstetrics is a shift-based service with longer hours than the Gynecologic surgery rotation. We are committed to respecting duty hours and residents are never expected to exceed 80 hours a week.
