Directors Message

Welcome to the Division of Hospital Medicine at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Our mission includes pursuit of excellence in education, inpatient clinical care, and research.

Our faculty members have major clinical and teaching roles at the College of Medicine, serving as clinicians and educators at the College of Medicine, UC Health Medical Center, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and the Lindner Center of Hope. During the last decade our Hospital Medicine program has experienced considerable growth as the UC Medical Center has expanded.
