Summa Health Department of Medicine

Summa Health is a growing, patient-centered integrated healthcare system with a rich history of excellence in medical education.  For decades, our teaching programs have been at the heart of our mission:  to serve our community with the highest-quality care.

We offer 20 residency and fellowship programs at Summa Health.  Here, you will experience the best of both worlds:  the rigor of a high-volume, hands-on experience and the support of faculty that you will know on a first-name basis.  The culture is what draws students, residents, and fellows here, and the culture is what makes them want to stay.  And when you graduate from your program, you will be well-prepared for whatever lies ahead — just ask our graduates!

Summa Health is thriving and growing. Our new facilities house our state-of-the-art mother-baby units, a new breast center, new surgical suites with the latest technology embedded in each room, and a new behavioral health hospital. Our community deserves the highest-quality care delivered in the best facilities and Summa Health has made a commitment to deliver.  

Medical education is growing, too. From our new $1.3M resident workspace, to our expanded OB/GYN residency and Cardiology fellowship programs, to the growth of our Critical Care Medicine fellowship into a Pulmonary/Critical Care Medicine fellowship, the commitment to training tomorrow's physicians remains strong. 

Thank you for your interest in Summa Health.  We hope to see you soon!
