Resident Testimonials
" I came to Aultman hospital because the Family Medicine Department was different than any of the other programs that I visited during the interview season. I was deeply impacted at the close and collegial atmosphere between faculty and residents and how the faculty were truly interested in not only your development in becoming an excellent family medicine physician, but genuinely interested in you as a person. Also the residents were some of the most friendly and down to earth people that I had come across. This is especially important as you will be spending a lot of time in the hospital working together as residents. This combination of great relationships simply cannot be replicated anywhere else. I have no concerns that after leaving Canton, Ohio I will be a capable and strong physician as the training that I received was excellent. I would highly recommend this program to anyone interested in family medicine and would not hesitate to choose this program again if I had to do it over."

"I had the misfortune of starting at a nearby residency program that shut down midway through my intern year. I came to visit Aultman at a time where my stress and mistrust of the residency system was at its highest and was immediately disarmed by the support and genuine integrity of the faculty here. The FP program is made up of members that live to educate and value their residents. They welcomed me and incorporated me into their system in a way that wasn't expected or required, When it comes down to it, as long as you have the perseverance necessary, you can graduate with the necessary tools from any accredited residency program. But only some programs have the people that are necessary to make the journey enjoyable and help you strive to be a better doctor. Aultman's FP residency has those people."

"Originally from Colorado, I applied to numerous medical schools across the country. As I was applying to residencies, I was looking for a community and hospital that would support me and my future goals. After having several opportunities across the country for residency I decided on Aultman Hospital to receive my training. During my training I worked in close conjunction with faculty and residents as Chief Resident. Having completed my residency, I have decided for my wife and I to stay in the area. Ohio has been a great location for training, and now practice."

"I chose the Aultman Family Medicine Program because of the strong, energetic and enthusiastic faculty. This program offers a professional work environment with a challenging and diverse patient population. The well-rounded curriculum provides for an effective and rewarding learning experience that includes many opportunities for personal growth and responsibility. Furthermore, the Canton area is safe and affordable. The surrounding communities combine beautiful residential areas with a business district to create an ideal environment for living and working. In addition, the school districts are excellent, and the community parks offer biking, hiking, swimming, team sports and golfing opportunities for everyone."
