[FIRST] PERSON
Take a journey with Stewart Smith, first-year medical
student, as he shares his perspective on the next
four years of medical school at The Ohio State
University College of Medicine.
The LSI Advantage
In some medical curricula, the first two years
as a student can be an arduous task. We are
selected to attend medical school in large part
for our compassion, commitment to service and
interpersonal skills. Unfortunately, in some medical
school curricula, students are forced to put those
passions on the backburner until their third year.
However, in the “Lead.Serve.Inspire.” curriculum
here at the OSU College of Medicine, we have
the honor and privilege to begin sharpening these
skills from the beginning of our first years.
My favorite part of the LSI curriculum is my
longitudinal practice preceptorship. I am able to
spend one day every other week in clinic with Dr.
Quinn Capers, an interventional cardiologist here at
the Medical Center. I have the opportunity to conduct
patient interviews, give vaccines and injections, take
EKGs, and participate in most other aspects of the
care of his patients. Dr. Capers’ skills as a teacher
and physician further my medical education more
on those days than I could hope to gain in multiple
days with my head in the books. He teaches me to
think critically about a patient’s care, and holds me
to the standards of a young physician. He pushes
me to apply my budding medical knowledge in the
real world, for the end that every healthcare provider
desires – improving the lives of others.
HAPPY 100!

From the Alumni Society President
100 YEARS: OUR MISSION REMAINS THE SAME
Dear Alumni,
One hundred years! That’s right. When you open the pages of your alumni magazine this
spring, you will be in the midst of a celebration – 2014 will celebrate the 100th birthday of The
Ohio State University College of Medicine. The names may have changed, but the purpose has
remained constant – turn out the best of the best!
Oh, how medicine has changed during these 100 years. Think about the pioneers who
preceded you and what you have done to carry their cause into the future. You are part of
a legacy that only a select few can appreciate. Our short time in medical school gave us the
knowledge that carried us into a career and a life of which we can all be proud.
Michael G. Leadbetter, MD

President
Do you believe in ghosts? I think I do. Every time I walk through the medical complex at Ohio State, I hear their
voices. All those professors who taught me what I know today. In some shape or form, they still roam the halls of
this great institution and guide the present faculty in their quests to produce the best of the best.
This could not have been possible without us – 13,000 alumni who have carried this message for decades.
We can reflect on the comment, “But for Ohio State, where would I be?” The students of today dwell on the
comment, “But for our alumni, where would I be?”
In order to continue educating the best of the best, please join me to “Dot the ‘i’ in Scholarship” in honor of the 100th
birthday of the institution that gave you your career. We can help. Call us at 614-366-1642 or email medalum@osumc.edu.
Message from the Dean...
Dear Alumni,

Looking Back on 100 Years of Rich
History. Looking Forward to 100 More.
A lot has happened in our 100-year history, making Ohio State’s College
of Medicine what it is today. Below are a few noteworthy moments in our
history that have helped define who we are as one of the nation’s top
medical schools.
1914 – Ohio State’s College of Medicine is established, led by Dr. William
Means as the College of Medicine’s first dean.
1914 – Ohio State’s first hospital has 21 beds and 14 nurses on staff.
Within 100 years, Ohio State opens leading facilities in cancer research,
critical care, emergency and trauma care.
1944 – Ohio State becomes the first medical facility in central Ohio to
administer penicillin, enabling OSU to bring life-saving and innovative
treatments to its patients.
1947 – As the first black woman to earn a medical degree from Ohio
State, Dr. Clotilde Bowen conquers other barriers for women and blacks
through her career in the U.S. Army.
1969 – Dr. James Warren and a team of Ohio State cardiologists create
the nation’s first mobile coronary care unit, the Heartmobile, allowing
lifesaving care to be administered to patients en route to Ohio State’s
Emergency Department.
1999 – Ohio State surgeons are the first in North America to perform a
“da Vinci” robotic surgery. The da Vinci system uses precise movements
and pushes the boundaries of surgery beyond human capabilities.
2010 – The largest expansion in Ohio State’s history begins with the
expansion of the Wexner Medical Center. An estimated 21 percent
increase in patient admission capacity will occur within the next 10 years.
2012 – OSU College of Medicine launches its innovative “Lead.Serve.
Inspire” Curriculum, moving medical students from the classroom to
patient-care areas faster than traditional models.

Student News
Up to the Challenge
Medical students from Ohio State and the University
of Kentucky tested their imaging skills during a friendly
competition called the “Ultrasound Challenge” on Feb.
15 in the Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Center
on the Ohio State campus.
The challenge, which originated at Ohio State in 2010,
consisted of six types of ultrasound exams including a
fast exam of a trauma patient, nerve exam, pelvic exam
of a first-semester pregnancy, abdominal aorta scan,
cardiac ultrasound exam and a vascular exam to guide
placement of a catheter.
“It’s a low-pressure environment where students can
highlight their ultrasound skills in a friendly competition
with other medical students,” says Dave Bahner, MD,
clinical professor of Emergency Medicine and founder
of the program. “It’s also a novel way for students to
learn and master the skill of acquiring quality ultrasound
images that can help them in their future medical career.”
Barbie Reichert, a fourth-year medical student at
Ohio State, was among the dozens of students who
participated in the high-energy competition.
“It helps us get ready to perform when we’re presented
with that opportunity in true patient care,” Reichert says.
“We’ve gotten to build relationships and share ideas
about the ultrasound experience at different institutions.”
This year’s daylong competition also included a
presentation by Matt Dawson, MD, a renowned emergency
physician and co-host of UltrasoundPodcast.com, who
educated the students on using technology and social
media to improve their education and patient care.
Nite Out 2014 Raises $5,609 for Columbus Free Clinic

OSU Student Works to Bring Care to Mennonite Community
First-year medical student Nic Miller grew up in an Amish and Mennonite community. He
dropped out of high school to pursue a trade, but his path was suddenly reshaped after a
tragic accident took the life of his friend, which inspired him to enroll at the University of Akron.
Miller intends to eventually become a general surgeon and relocate back to his community. He
believes that as a rural surgeon he can best serve the diverse needs of his community in a way
that is culturally sensitive and cost-effective. Read more of Miller’s story at go.osu.edu/Miller.

Student Spotlight > Diana Wieser
As a second-year medical student at Ohio State, Diana
Wieser spends a lot of time independently studying and
serving the needs of patients.
experience, but they were looking for enthusiastic
members with a new perspective, and they saw that
combination in my application.
In her added role as student advocate for the American
Medical Association Medical Student Section (AMA-MSS),
she influences policy decisions for medical students and
patients on a much broader scale.
Describe some of the ways you’re impacting policy.
“Clinical work allows me to have an impact on my patients,
while policy work allows me to have an impact on patients
across the country,” says Wieser, originally from Lima, Ohio.
Wieser, who plans to specialize in Oncology or Cardiology,
became a member of AMA’s Medical Student committee
on Legislation and Advocacy in August. She is one of
just 14 students on the Committee, advocating for the
needs of medical students and providing guidance on the
organization’s policy.
At the beginning of the year, we ran a grassroots campaign
to preserve graduate medical education funding. The White
House was proposing large cuts, which would be detrimental
to medical students trying to match into residency positions.
In a matter of weeks, we coordinated students to send
thousands of letters to Congress and organized 50 visits with
legislators. At Ohio State, 12 students met with the staff of U.S.
representatives Pat Tiberi and Joyce Beatty. Through this
experience, I learned how to frame important policy issues.
It was amazing to see other students’ passion and the farreaching impact of our grassroots effort.
How did you become a member of this elite group?
How has your involvement enhanced your education at
Ohio State?
Working your way up in the AMA-MSS requires a lot of
enthusiasm, dedication to the organization and networking
with current leaders. The Committee on Legislation and
Advocacy is one of the most competitive committees –
only 14 available slots for 60 applicants. The committee
who selected me said that my enthusiasm “popped”
in my application. At the time I had very little advocacy
I’ve learned so much about healthcare policy and how I
can have an impact on policy, even as a medical student.
I’ve effectively advocated for issues I care about. I wanted
to learn more about healthcare policy because it will affect
my future patients and myself. The AMA has educational tools
that teach me about these important issues and allow me to
develop the skills I need to successfully have an impact.

Alumni Give Back Through HOST Program
As a student, Scott Parker, MD ’12, was welcomed into
homes of OSU alumni when he traveled across the
country interviewing for residency programs.
This year, Dr. Parker was able to reciprocate this
volunteerism by opening his home in Utah to Ohio
State medical students as they engaged in the
residency program interview process.
Dr. Parker is one of many Ohio State alumni who have
participated in the Help Our Students Travel (HOST)
Program. The HOST Program is beneficial to both
students and alumni, as it saves students money and
helps alumni stay connected with Ohio State and learn
from the next generation of physicians.
Beth Gottesman, a fourth-year medical student, says
she greatly benefitted from the program. Out of her 11
interviews in Baltimore, Salt Lake City and Cleveland,
she had to pay for just one hotel room.
“It was great to stay with people who knew exactly
what I was going through and who were happy to
help me on my journey,” Gottesman says. “They
understood that I was tired and travel-weary, and
needed a place to recharge so I could put on my best
face for the interview.”
Dr. Parker housed Gottesman during her interview in
Utah. He says he appreciated the opportunity to talk
to her, as well as the other student he hosted, about
their interview experiences. As a student, he found the
program extremely beneficial and was eager to give
back after his graduation.
“The HOST Program connects alumni with students
and gives us opportunities to think beyond ourselves
and help others through the grueling interview
season,” Dr. Parker says.
Alumni interested in being a host should complete
and submit the online alumni registration form at
go.osu.edu/HOST.
Female Students, Physicians Bond through Similar Interests
The “Women in White Coats” program celebrated
its 12th year and the College’s 100th anniversary at its
meeting in January. Alumnae physicians and female
medical students paid homage to the women who
made advancements in medicine during the College’s
rich history.
Dean Charles Lockwood honored four of Ohio State’s
“Local Legends”: Linda Stone, MD ’79; Rebecca
Jackson, MD ’78; Mary Beth Fontana, MD ’66; and
Carole Miller, MD ’66. Local Legends is a national
program that highlights the contributions of women
physicians in rural and urban towns throughout America.
Nominated by a congressional representative, each
honoree has made a positive and enduring contribution
to the health care of her community. Attendees received
advice from honorees prior to roundtable discussions
with guests. One alumna said, “I enjoyed the event and
the time with women in medicine. It is important that we
support women coming into medicine today.” The event
proved impactful for both students and alumni.

Marvin Shie, MD
Why do you give?
“I got a very good medical education and I was
well prepared for my residency and subsequent
medical practice, which is why I chose OSU
for medical school. I wanted to be prepared to
actually practice community medicine and not
just be in the ivory tower environment. Ohio
State gave me that preparation.”
“When I go back from time to time for visits
and when I read the alumni bulletin, it’s
obvious that the College is progressing,
improving and expanding all the time. It just
makes you proud to be an alumnus of a
school like that and I want to support it.”

Scarlet-and-Gray Alumni Preserve Fabric of Ohio State
Dr. Michael Minch, MD ’73, has lived
in Nashville for more than 40 years
since departing Columbus, but his
connection to and appreciation
for OSU remains strong. Dr. Minch
supports current OSU medical
students with an annual scholarship.
“About 15 years ago, it dawned on me that people come
in and out of your life, but the one thing that has been a
consistently positive presence in my life is Ohio State,”
Minch says.
“Ohio State was the only medical school I applied to and,
if they hadn’t accepted me, my life would have turned
out quite different. Some of the best times of my life took
place on the OSU campus; I wanted to honor that by
giving back to the College.”
Dr. Minch notes that it is really the scarlet-and-gray
alumni who preserve the fabric of this institution. In fact,
he was appointed by Dr. Steven Gabbe to serve on
the University Alumni Council as the Health Sciences
representative from 2007-2013.
Dr. Minch says he finds immense pride in being part
of an OSU network that extends far beyond the
campus boundaries or even Ohio’s border, and his
annual donation validates that pride. He describes
the worldwide connectivity of OSU grads as an “aura,”
an undercurrent of pride that drives alumni to maintain
their ties to OSU, in whatever way they can manage.
Dr. Minch’s generosity does more than maintain his
tie to the College – it affords past and current
students the opportunity to study medicine at a
world-renowned institution.
