Community-Based Medical Education

Instead of operating a university-based hospital for clinical training, Wright State University Boonshoft School of Medicine is affiliated with seven major teaching hospitals in the Greater Dayton area and has formal affiliation agreements with more than 20 other health care institutions in the Miami Valley where our students and residents receive clinical training. This model exposes medical students and resident physicians to a diverse range of patients and health care facilities. Medical educators believe that this "real world" experience is excellent preparation for medical careers in a rapidly changing health care system. Our major clinical sites are shown in the map below.
