“My parents are both Palestinian, they were both born there. I was born here but we have a house over there, so we would go in the summers. Palestine has a lot of war and conflict right now, and I had a lot of cousins who lost limbs, and I had uncles who passed away. Just seeing how little resources they had, and just seeing the technology over there, you know, that really impacted me. I also went to South America a couple times, and saw the impact of rural medicine down there. A lot of times in these rural areas, there isn’t a physician. Or there’s just a family doctor. The impact of just not having resources—or having to walk miles to get water, to me is just mind-blowing. Because of those experiences, I want to make sure I help those facing social and economic inequalities, and medicine is one avenue in which I can do so.” Noor Ramahi, OMS-II #HumansofOUHCOM #careleadshere #ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent #MinorityHealthMonth #HealthEquity#NMHM1 (photograph by @marlenasloss)

At the Clinical & Translational Research Unit, our faculty, staff and students do more than treat patients. Our research activities are helping to forge new ties with the general public, the scientific community, health care professionals and the biomedical and pharmaceutical industries. Our vision is to be nationally recognized as one of the leading clinical trial facilities associated with a medical school. #CareLeadsHere #OUHCOM #OhioUniversity #CTRU #clinical #translational #research #pharmaceutical #biomedical (photographs by @facun)
“Coming to medical school, I’ve seen how important the doctor-patient connection is for the outcome of the patient. As one of the Inclusion Scholars for Cleveland, I chose to do a literature review for LGBTQ health disparities, and to focus on the best practices for caring for that community. From that I’m hoping to take what I find and actually see what we need to implement to make the difference, instead of just studying the difference. Knowing that you have a doctor or staff network that is working for you, no matter what, means a world of difference for anybody that is transgender or gender non-binary, gay, lesbian, bi, everything. Because a lot of times, one person’s experience in the LGBTQ community is completely different than another one’s. So that’s why I think it’s imperative that I’m asking the right questions, and asking them properly. You want to be mindful of every aspect of what your patients are walking into.” Cameron Swofford, OMS-II, Class of 2021 #HumansofOUHCOM #careleadshere #ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent #lgbtq (photograph by @marlenasloss)
This past week, through the Cleveland Clinic Physician Diversity Scholars Program we paired 25 scholars with 19 mentors. Thanks to the support from the Cleveland Clinic, we were able to offer one-time $7,500.00 scholarships to ten different students in our program. The Cleveland Clinic Physician Diversity Scholars Program represents the strong commitment of both organizations to embrace and encourage diversity among the providers caring for the diverse population of our communities, while also ensuring they are providing care of the highest quality. #careleadshere #ouhcom #ohiouniversity #medstudent #MinorityHealthMonth #HealthEquity #NMHM1 #ClevelandClinic #diversity #ouhcom (photographs @facun)
Students enjoyed the sunshine and spring blossoms in the late 1970s. See how much the trees outside of Irvine Hall have grown! #throwbackthursday #tbt (photograph @ouhcom)
