Trainee Diversity

At Nationwide Children’s Hospital, we strengthen our strategic plan with the best people and best programs to achieve the best outcomes. We are deeply committed to the intentional recruitment and retention of a diverse group of residents, fellows and faculty that reflects our patient population and community. We recognize and embrace the crucial role diverse staff play in addressing social determinants of health, quality, patient safety, genomic medicine, behavioral health and population health. They are the foundation of our vision of best outcomes in everything we do and in delivering the best health care for children.

Patrice Collins

Patrice Collins, MD

"What I really like most about the residency program here is the community and supportiveness of my co-residents, interns and faculty. Knowing that everyone is trying to help each other out is very comforting. I’ve found that you can find people you can connect with and experience life with outside of the hospital."

 
Albert

Luna Emogene, MD

“Moving thousands of miles away from my family to pursue my dreams in medicine is challenging, so finding a program where I feel supported and can establish a home away from home is crucial. In the short time I've been here, the support from my co-interns, seniors, chief residents, attendings and the GME crew, especially those in RiSE, has been exceptional. I genuinely feel valued and supported here. I'm grateful to be in a program where I don't feel like I'm going through this alone.”

Jonathan Joseph, MD

“Beyond the medicine that I'm learning, Nationwide Children's is helping me see the bigger picture in my role as a physician in terms of advocacy. I get to branch out and explore other ways to serve my community beyond direct patient care.”
