Introduction
Dear Class of 2016:
Welcome to medical school! You are about to join the prestigious ranks of
physicians-in-training. Right now, you are probably focused on moving to a
new state, a new city, or at least a new part of campus. While it may seem
overwhelming to have so many things going on all at once, let me assure
you that this time will be filled with new friends, exciting experiences, and
challenging academic accomplishments. It is our hope that you will soon
feel at home as a Buckeye and as an important and vital part of The Ohio
State University Wexner Medical Center.
I am sure you have heard that medical school is a lot of hard work. I am not going to lie to
you: It is! But what you might not know is that med school is also filled with a ton of fun.
OSU medical students in particular (and I might be a bit biased) are extremely active and
community-minded individuals. You will never be at a loss for things to do. There are
countless interest groups that will help you open a window into medical specialties as well as
a myriad intramural sports teams to join, events to attend, and trips to take. Although it may
not seem like it at first, you will have time for your hobbies in fact, they are instrumental in
staying happy and healthy in medical school!
Entering medical school is a big transition for everyone. For most of you, more will be
expected of you academically in professional school than was ever demanded by your most
rigorous undergraduate classes. Personally, the lifestyle changes that accompany the
transition to medical school can be daunting and the adjustment can be difficult. The biggest
piece of advice that I can give you is DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP! This is the time
in your life when you are entering your chosen profession. No one expects that just because
you have reached your goal you are ready to handle everything that comes your way.
Remember that there are plenty of people always willing to listen and to suggest a helpful tip
to get you through.
It is my hope that this guide will answer many of your questions for you, as well as make you
feel more comfortable about starting your four years here. But, if there are any questions
that are unanswered, please utilize your Orientation Coordinators or individual group leaders,
or contact any member of Student Council! We hope that you enjoy your orientation and
meeting your fellow classmates.
Welcome and CONGRATULATIONS! You made it!
And, of course.Go Bucks!

Welcome from the Administrators

Dear Student:
Welcome to the Ohio State University College of Medicine. You have taken
the first step in your journey towards becoming an outstanding physician.
Our new Lead.Serve.Inspire. (LSI) curriculum will provide you with amazing
opportunities to learn from outstanding faculty. It is these award winning
teaching faculty and well-funded, innovative, research faculty who will
assist you along your journey of discovery and development. In addition to
superb faculty you will learn in state of the art facilities. For example, the
recently-opened and expanded Clinical Skills Education and Assessment Center will enable you to learn
using high fidelity simulators in an immersive environment prior to caring for patients. This facility is
utilizing cutting edge technology to facilitate acquisition and retention of knowledge. A recent addition
to the center is virtual patient simulation technology. This technology utilizes an artificial intelligence
interface to help you acquire clinical reasoning and problem solving skills through virtual patient
interactions. During your time here at the College of Medicine we will be opening a state of the art
cancer & critical care tower that will be unlike any other across the country. Combining research,
education and patient care missions within the design framework will not only enhance learning but will
also act to operationalize and facilitate translational research.
I am very proud of our LSI curriculum which has been designed to help you develop the skills required
of a physician of tomorrow. This curriculum is unique because it is competency based and allows selfassessment and self-directed learning that will enable you to achieve high levels of understanding and
to retain new knowledge and skills. To permit you to acquire medical knowledge that is directly
applicable to patient care, you will quickly be placed into longitudinal clinical practices. Your
involvement in these practices will challenge you to apply foundational science knowledge to actual
patient cases. In addition you will learn how to coach patients to improve their health. Being a health
coach for patients with chronic illnesses will help you to help them be an active participant in the
management of their disease. You will also learn to help patients focus on healthy behaviors in
association with genomic data to prevent disease.
At the start of your training you will begin to understand and apply the tenants of quality assurance
and patient safety in your clinical care. Uniquely, here at Ohio State you will learn what it means to be
a systems-based physician who practices in an environment without silos where patient outcomes are
dramatically improved through collaborative inter-professional, team-based care. This in fact represents
the true future of health care delivery both here in the United States and across the world.
On a personal note I encourage each and every one of you to develop an effective school-life balance.
You must take care of yourself before you can care for your patients. By maintaining balance in life
you will advance in your scientific and clinical knowledge while maintaining the humanistic qualities
that led you to the medical profession. I want you to know that both my staff and I are here to help
you along this exciting journey. I encourage you to reach out if there is anything that we might be
able to help with.

MED I ATLAS:
General Advice on Studying in Medical School

So you have made it to med school and you are thinking, I can handle this studying thing.
Then, you receive the score for your first test and you wonder whether law school would
have been a better option. Disclaimer: THIS IS NORMAL! There is no doubt that you and
your classmates have gone through rigorous undergraduate and even graduate academic
programs and have proven yourselves to be competent students. What lies ahead, however,
is a bit different. Surprising to most incoming first-years is the volume of material presented
and the speed at which one must master it. Try your best not to fall behind. More than
anything, though, the next two years of preclinical work will challenge your adeptness at
maintaining the passion and drive that brought you here in the first place.
Medical school has more information than you can possibly master, so it is important to focus
on what your block leaders highlight as important. This information can be easily identified
by looking at the learning objectives. Some students type out responses to these numbered
lists, while others merely make note of them while reviewing the material. Whatever study
strategy you choose, you would be remiss to ignore these. They make up a substantial
portion of exam questions.
When it comes to developing a daily studying routine, the class divides into the librarystudiers and the non-library studiers. Figure out which environment works for you, but do
not hesitate to switch things up from time to time. Some students try coffee shops on
weekends or other OSU libraries when they need to spice up their study life. Others frequent
local public libraries or even parks. And, something as simple as trying different floors or
different spots on the same floor at Prior can go a long way in making your studying more
effective. Also, some students find study groups to be very helpfulmany even split up
learning objectives and take turns teaching a lecture to the group. Other students write
practice questions that they often kindly distribute to the class.
There are lots of resources on the internet. A simple search may pull up sites from another
medical school that has tutorials on what you are studying. When one source of information
is not clicking for you, try to find another. Repetition is key, but do not waste time on
formats that are not working. Keep your ears open for what other med classes have to say
about things. It is amazing how much useful information is out there hanging from the
grapevinedo not be afraid to ask!
Of course, there is no formula for studying success in medical school. But one universal tip
does applybe sure to take some time for yourself. Burnout is very easy to succumb to, and
it is important not to lose who you are to the rigors ahead. Whatever your hobbies may be,
keep your interests and passions alive throughout the process of becoming a doctor.

Anatomy & Embryology: Get Prepared!

The transition to medical school can be a confusing oneso, to make it a little bit easier, here
are some must knows to help get you started with anatomy and embryology:
Each Lab Group Needs the Following for Lab
____ (2) disposable tissue containers: old Tupperware, Coolwhip, butter tubs, etc.
____
boxes of lab gloves: you will go through a LOT so be sure to alternate who buys
them; also, vinyl or nitrile gloves provide better smell-protection than latex. You
can find gloves at CVS, Walgreens, Sams Club, Costco & the bookstore.
____ (24) scalpel blades: size #22. You can find scalpel blades at most of the bookstores
around campus. You will need 20-30 and some stores do run low halfway through
anatomy so buy them early!
The following are usually provided by the previous class, but you will be told if you need to
purchase these for your group. Do NOT buy the dissector and atlas new, as you will be
referring to it throughout lab with your dirty gloves, and they become quite filthy:
____ (1) Grants Dissector: (used)
____ (1) Atlas of your choice: (used) - choose from the options described below
____ (2) probes
____ (2) forceps: 1 regular and 1 rat-tooth (rat-tooth = interlocking tips)
____ (2) scissors: 1 sharp, 1 blunt
____ (2) scalpel handles: size #44
____ (2) hemostats: 1 bent, 1 straight
Each Lab Member Needs the Following for Lab
____ (1) pair scrubs, old clothes, or lab coat: most people prefer scrubs
____ (1) pair shoes: ones you dont mind throwing away at the end. Waterproof options
such as Crocs are greatlab time can get messy.
Each Lab Member Needs the Following for Home
___ (1) Essential Clinical Anatomy: absolutely essential!
____ (1) Grants Dissector: read assigned sections at home before lablab will go faster
____ (1) Atlas of your choice: 75% of students prefer Netters atlas; sharing different
atlases among friends is a great idea!
Netters has better diagramsbuy this if you prefer images
Grants has better written explanationsbuy this if you prefer words

Rohens has photosvery helpful for practicals (and later for rotations!)
____ (1) The Developing Human: Clinically Oriented Embryology: embryo textbook
____ (1) Lachmans Case Studies in Anatomy: case studies to go along with lecture info.
Students recommend splitting this last purchase with a friend or roommate. You will use it,
but it is not imperative to have your own copy. The first four are ESSENTIAL!
Page 11
MED I ATLAS:
Computers
Having a laptop is crucial to your success at medical school and it is therefore required that
you have one by the College of Medicine. You will use your laptops to take notes during
lectures, to look up information during small group sessions, to check your e-mail regularly,
and to study. Information about the policy and the minimum requirements are available at
http://ckm.osu.edu/mobile/5246.cfm.
A new program has been implemented to help you get your laptop, should you need to
purchase one. If you buy the device from the WiredOut store (http://wiredout.osu.edu/) up
in the Central Classroom building, then WiredOut will handle all of your warranty and
hardware issues.
Funding
A student can apply for additional loan funding to pay for one laptop during their medical
school career. Contact Christine McDonough at Medfinaid@osumc.edu to apply for this
funding. The student is reimbursed the loan funding back in a lump sum amount. The
maximum amount of the computer cannot exceed $1800.
Already have a laptop?
What if you already have a computer that you love? If it is a desktop, you will probably want
to either sell it or just get the additional laptop because you will be taking your laptop
everywhere in med school! If you do have a laptop, you do not have to get a new one (even
if it is a Mac!) - it just has to meet the specifications set up by the Center for Knowledge
Management:
Minimum Requirements:
Pentium M 1.80 GHz or higher (PC) or Intel based processor [Mac
G4 and G5 do not support testing software]
1 GB RAM
80 GB Hard Drive* with minimum 1GB available disc space
Microsoft Windows
XP: professional Service Pack 3 or better
Vista: All versions
Windows 7: All versions
OSX Leopard (10.5.8) or Snow Leopard (10.6) Operating
System
IEEE 802.11 a/b/g Wireless card
McAfee Anti-Virus software (free at http://osusls.osu.edu/)
Microsoft Office 2003 or newer (PC) or Mac Office 2004 or newer (Mac)
Screen resolution of at least 1024x768
Tablets
Some students really enjoy using Tablet laptops, but they have gotten mixed reviews from
previous classes. They seem to work out best for students who frequently utilize the tablet
feature (which means you can write on the screen itself using a pen-like object called a
stylus). This allows a student to take notes on top of the actual lecture slides during class
and organize their notes electronically. If you think you are more likely to take notes on
paper, or plan on entering the Independent Study Program, you probably will not have too
much use for the tablet feature and may want to look at other models that include features
not found on the tablets, like CD/DVD drives, and faster processors.
Page 12
MED I ATLAS:
Websites
It can be confusing getting used to an entirely new set of websites when trying to find the
electronic information you need. The following information will help you figure out where to go to
find what you are looking for, as well as the appropriate login information.

The American Medical Association-Medical Students Section (AMA-MSS) is the largest and
most influential medical student organization in the country. Its membership is comprised of
medical students, residents, and doctors from all over the nation, who not only make policy
themselves, but also directly influence the policies of the American Medical Association, the
largest organization of doctors in the United States. Joining the AMA provides students with
unique experiences: meeting doctors from all over the country while traveling to national
conferences, becoming involved in the process of national policy, and gaining leadership
experience through a wealth of local and national positions available to all members of the
AMA.
Website: http://medicine.osu.edu/ama
American Medical Student Association (AMSA)
Leadership
AMSA members develop into physician-leaders who are now surgeon generals, FDA
commissioners, clinicians, educators, researchers, administrators, and public health officials.
AMSA is entirely student-run and provides leadership opportunities on every level, including
two first-year representative positions at OSU.
Activism
If youre interested in speaking up for those who cant speak up for themselves, AMSA is the
organization for you. How is AMSA different from other organizations? When you join AMSA,
you become part of a vital force of 65,000 national members who transform student idealism
into meaningful public service, innovation, and institutional change.
Reputation
OSU has a strong reputation as one of the largest and most active chapters in the country.
Student services include a used book sale, an instrument sale, and residency fairs. Recent
projects focused on AIDS, health care access, and the Smoke Free Ohio campaign.
Asian Free Clinic (AFC)
Columbus has a significant non-English speaking population. The AFC targets this
population, with a focus on the uninsured portion. At the clinic, students are provided
with the opportunity to take patient histories, practice working with translators, take
vital signs, present patients to physicians, and follow the patient through the process

of evaluation. The clinic is usually held on Mondays at 4:40 pm at the Rardin Family Practice
Center. Look for sign-up sheets in the basement of Meiling Hall.
Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA)
APAMSA is a national organization that aims to address those issues important to AsianAmerican medical students. One part of our mission is to bring together Asians and others
interested in the health issues that affect Asians so that we may have a strong, collective,
public, and political voice. We are interested in both directly promoting the health and wellbeing of the Asian community as well as in helping all health care workers who work with
these communities understand how to care for the Asian patient in a culturally sensitive
manner. APAMSA provides an important forum for APA medical students to meet, exchange
information and experiences, and develop personally and professionally.
Website: http://apamsa.org.ohio-state.edu
Christian Medical and Dental Association (CMDA)
The CMDA works to foster a community in which Christian medical and dental students can
come and share experiences, thoughts, and concerns with each other on a regular
basis. CMDA also seeks to help Christian students learn how to integrate their professions
with their faith and to reach out to the community. Our activities include prayer meetings,
Bible studies, monthly dinner meetings with speakers from the community, service projects,
and social events.
Website: www.cmdahome.org
Columbus Free Clinic (CFC)
The Columbus Free Clinic is designed to provide health care to the underserved throughout
the greater Columbus area. The clinic also allows medical students to further their education
by practicing interviewing and clinical skills. The CFC is completely run by current students at
the Ohio State University College of Medicine. The Steering Committee, which runs the clinic,
is determined through an application and interviewing process that occurs every January.
Diverse Interest Group (Dive In)
If you are not sure whether your future lies with pediatrics or geriatrics, medicine or surgery,
this is the group for you. Dive In hosts a number of different panel discussions throughout
the year to learn about the many areas of medicine. Dive In also provides shadowing
opportunities and online resources that can help you explore the different medical specialties.
Emergency Medicine Interest Group (EMIG)
If you enjoy emergency medicine or are interested in finding out more about the field, then
EMIG is for you! Through EMIG, you can sign up for shadowing opportunities in the
Emergency Department; help train other students in life-saving techniques, such as CPR; and
Page 15

sponsor TB testing for students at a discounted rate. A wide variety of capabilities and
opportunities are available to give Med 1 students a more clinical experience early in their
medical careers. If you are interested in finding out more about EMIG, check out our bulletin
board near your mailboxes in the basement of Meiling Hall.
Ether Arts
Ether Arts is an organization devoted to the appreciation of arts and literature in medicine
and our community. Our main goal is to bring together students with similar interests and
give them an outlet for both expressing and experiencing their creative artistic interests. We
regularly organize trips and events for off-campus plays, concerts, art exhibitions, and the
likewhatever strikes our fancy and promises to remind us that life still exists outside the
library!
Website: http://ether.org.ohio-state.edu/index.html
Family Medicine Interest Group (FMIG)
FMIG provides med students with firsthand experience in family medicine, teaches them
valuable skills of medical technique, and creates relationships between students and
professionals established in the community. Throughout the year, FPIG convenes meetings
on family medicine topics; holds medical skills workshops, such as on phlebotomy and
casting; and even sets you up with a mentor. Community service activities include
volunteering with the Mt. Carmel Medical Van that travels to homeless shelters to bring
needed medical services to the underserved. Students can serve on state and national boards
and committees through the American Academy of Family Physicians and the Ohio Academy
of Family Physicians. For more information, check the FPIG bulletin board in Meiling Halls
basement and the quarterly FPIG newsletter.
Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender Group (GLBT)
We are a diverse organization of gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer,
questioning, and straight medical students who support each other and work to educate the
medical school community. We are committed advocates of GLBT patients, an invisible
minority that is often left unrecognized and sometimes openly stigmatized by medical

Student Financial Services

This office assists students with issues related to student health insurance, tuition bills,
residency, and student financial aid.
Applying for Loans and Need Based Scholarships
Submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) electronically at http://
www.fafsa.ed.gov. Our school code is 003090. Including parent information on the FAFSA
does not mean that we expect your parents to contribute to your education financially. It is
required for us to distribute need-based scholarships. You do not have to include parent
information on the FAFSA in order to be awarded federal loans.
Your Financial Aid Award Details & Accepting Your Aid
Go to www.buckeyelink.osu.edu
My Student Center
View Financial Aid (under finances)
Select the 2012-13 academic year
Click on Award Summary Tab (at the top)
Once you have reviewed your aid package, follow the directions to accept the amount of your
loans. Incoming students will also be required to complete Federal Entrance Counseling and
sign the Master Promissory Note.
Each following year, students will only be required to accept the amount of their loans.
Please complete this step by July 15 to ensure funds are available when school begins.
Federal Stafford Loans
The OSU College of Medicine uses the Federal Direct Loan Program through the Department
of Education. More info at:
http://medicine.osu.edu/students/financial_services/loans/pages/federalstafford.aspx
Unsubsidized Stafford loans are at a 6.8% fixed interest rate and have a 0.5% origination
fee. You are responsible for the interest that accrues on Unsubsidized Stafford loans during
and after school.
Unmet Need
If after reviewing your award notification letter you find that the aid resources offered are not
enough to fully meet your cost of attendance, you can apply for either a private alternative
educational loan or a Federal Graduate PLUS loan. Please apply by July 15 to ensure that
the funds are available at the beginning of the school year. The maximum amount for either
loan would be the difference between your cost of attendance and your current available aid
resources on your award summary.
There are many differences between these two additional loan resources. Private educational
loans are taken out through banks, have variable interest rates, may not have loan fees, and
cannot be consolidated with your federal loans.
Page 25
MED I ATLAS:
The Federal Graduate PLUS loan is taken out through the federal government, has a fixed
interest rate, a loan origination fee, and can be consolidated with your other federal loans.
For more information on these loans as well as how to apply, please visit:
http://medicine.osu.edu/students/financial_services/loans/pages/gradplusprivatebank.aspx.
Scholarships
Need-based Scholarships
To be considered each school year for need-based scholarships, students are required to
file the FAFSA in early March and include parental information. The deadline has passed for
need-based awarding for 2012-2013 school year. Need-based awarding is based on several
criteria and is not based strictly on Expected Family Contribution from the FAFSA.
Scholarships are awarded annually and may change from year to year.
University Scholarships
University scholarships are awarded annually. The deadline has passed, but students may
apply each March for consideration for the following school year. Students will be sent an
email each school year informing them when this application is available.
College of Medicine Scholarships
The medical school has additional scholarship funding that is held for returning students. All
scholarship money has been distributed. All students, however, will be reconsidered for these
awards annually as second-, third-, and fourth-year students. To be considered for these
scholarships, students are required to complete the College of Medicine Scholarship
application. This application will become available the first week of January each school year.
Receiving Loan Money
All loan money is electronically credited to your university account once you complete the
necessary requirements listed on your award letter. Your loan money will pay the
outstanding balance for the semester with any remainder being sent to you directly to help
pay for living and miscellaneous expenses.
For more dates throughout the school year, visit:
http://medicine.osu.edu/students/financial_services/pages/importantdates.aspx.
Moving Expenses & Unusual Expenses or Situations

Any student with an unusual situation or expenses who believes the traditional cost of
attendance is not accurate should contact Student Financial Services at
medfinaid@osumc.edu.

MED I ATLAS:
Becoming an Ohio Resident

There are some pretty complicated rules governing reclassification as an Ohio resident
for tuition purposes. On a simplified level, students can become Ohio residents (C-3)
immediately if they are financially dependent on a spouse who is a full-time employee in
Ohio. Otherwise, students can become residents (C-2) after they have lived in the state for
12 consecutive months and have financially supported themselves solely on Ohio income or
loans in their name. Savings and/or investment accounts in your name one year prior to
entering medical school may be eligible funding to meet your expenses. Note: Please
contact the University Registrars Office to receive a determination on the eligibility of this
funding. Additional requirements before applying include changing your drivers license and
license plates (if you own the vehicle) to Ohio and registering to vote in Ohio.
Specific questions should be directed to the Registrars Office; call 614-292-9330.
More information is available at:
http://registrar.osu.edu/.
Joint Degree Programs

OSUCOM offers combined degree programs including MD/MBA, MD/PhD, MD/MPH, MD/MHA,
and MD/JD. MD/PhD students must participate in the Independent Study Program. These
combined programs can often be completed in less time than pursuing the two degrees
separately. Find more information at:

MED I ATLAS:
The Summer After Med 1

Some people call this your last free summer. Unfortunately, this is not exactly true.
Although you technically have two months off before Med 2, these are prime CV-building
months. (Your CV is your professional rsum.) Students at medical schools around the
country will be working to strengthen their residency applications, and you should be, too.
Fortunately, there are several options for how to spend your summeryou might even be
able to find something you will really enjoy! A list of opportunities is available at http://
medicine.osu.edu/students/life/resources/summer_opportunities/pages/index.aspx
1. The most common option is doing research for the summer. If you plan on incorporating
research into your career, summer experience is vital. Even if you do not plan on a research
career, that kind of experience is increasingly expected when you apply for residency. Medical
students may pursue full- or part-time research during their curriculum or apply for a leave of
absence for up to one year to do research with a faculty advisor in the College of Medicine.
Funding opportunities for these options are available following an internal competitive
application process. Research opportunities are available through clinical and basic science
departments at OSUMC and Nationwide Children's Hospital.
The Medical Student
Research Program (MDSR), under the direction of Ginny L. Bumgardner, MD, PhD,
guides medical students to identify faculty research mentors, offers a limited number of
competitive internal scholarships to support their research training, orients students to
prepare them for a safe & successful research experience, alerts students of prestigious
extramural funding opportunities, and assists students with preparation of competitive
research fellowship applications. If you are interested in this program, start looking for
research opportunities early in the year because the first portion of the MDSR application is
due in December. The MDSR Program website (http://medicine.osu.edu/go/mdsr) is kept up
-to-date on announcements, events, and opportunities available by department or research
area, including summer opportunities.
2. Another popular option is traveling. Many students travel to South America, Africa, or India
to work for various charity groups. They are able to practice their clinical skills while helping
out an underserved country. The easiest way to travel is to work with one of the well-known
service groups. The International Health Interest Group is helpful in identifying these groups,
as are the Med 2s. Funding is available through the medical school and fundraisers to offset
some of the cost of your trip. Some students have even set up their own trips to less highly
frequented countries. Anything is possible. Just make sure to get your trip approved if youre
an out-of-state student trying to get Ohio residency (talk to Christine or Deniesha in the
Student Financial Services suite, B043 Graves).
3. There certainly are other options. You can spend a whole summer shadowing or working in
a physicians practice. You can do some in-depth work with a local charity. You can find a
program in the hospital that you want to get involved in to hone your clinical skills.
The point is that you are free, but you may not be happy with yourself in three years if you
spent the entire summer perfecting your Frisbee golf. Have fun and do what you like, just
choose wisely.

Housing
Ohio State medical students live in many different neighborhoods around Columbus. Some
prefer the hustle and bustle of the campus area, while others live in quieter areas a little
farther from school. The following is a list of some of the neighborhoods and specific
buildings or intersections where current med students live, as well as some comments about

This area is popular with married students and those looking to purchase a condo or house.
Located on the COTA #2 bus line, students have an alternative method of transportation to
school. Lots of new developments give Clintonville many restaurants and stores. Places for
rent can be found by driving around or by looking on Craigs List!
Highly recommended:
1) Fenway Pines: condos for purchase
2) Henderson Rd & High St: condos for purchase
3) Morse Rd & High St: condos for purchase
Worthington
This northern suburban area is more removed from campus, but shares the features as areas
like Hilliard. Worthington tends to be more expensive than other areas of Columbus.
Highly recommended:
1) Central Park ($400, $50)
Westerville
This area is northeast of Worthington and has a very suburban feel. Some students disliked
the longer commute.
Highly recommended:
1) Hickory Creek Apartments ($578, $70)
Other Areas
Students also live in and recommend Blacklick, Grove City, and Galloway. The top complaint
from these locations is the longer commute to school. Many students, though, prefer the
quiet environment of these areas.
General Housing Information
About 30% of students in the first year class live with a medical school classmate. Over the
summer, students can find a roommate by completing the housing survey on the orientation
website or through the Facebook page. Another 20% of M1s live with someone who is not a
medical student, while almost 40% of the class lives alone. About 10% live with a spouse or
significant other.

Transportation & Parking
While over half of first-year medical students walk or bike to school, a large percentage of the
class drives to campus. The remainder carpool, take a Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA)
bus, or ride their apartment complexs bus (this applies to the University Village Apartments).
COTA Buses
Students can ride COTA free just by showing a BuckID (see Miscellaneous section for info).
The COTA routes to OSU can be found at: http://www.cota.com/pdfs/System_Map_OSU.pdf.
Bicycles
There are racks outside the medical school buildings for students to lock up their bikes.
Parking Passes & Lots
Students may purchase parking passes online, at the Office of Transportation and Parking, or
at the medical school during orientation. The Transportation Office is located at 160 Bevis
Hall at 1080 Carmack Road. Please note that if you do not purchase a pass prior to
orientation, you will have to pay to park in a garage until you have your pass. You will need
to set up your OSU username before you can purchase a permit online.
Most students who drive to campus purchase C permits, which cost $264 for the entire year.
This pass allows you to park in any lots shaded GREEN on the parking map (http://
www.tp.ohio-state.edu/students/parking/parkingmap.shtml). Many students park in the Cpass lot off of Cannon Drive near 10th Avenue. There are also C-pass lots east of the medical
school off of W 10th Avenue. You can park at any university lot after 4:00pm with a C pass.
*Note: Since the university is in the process of renovating many of the garages surrounding
the medical center, the Cannon Drive lot (also known as the pit), will be B-pass only until
sometime in 2013. Students with a C-pass also may park on the Buckeye Lot and take the MC
bus directly to the medical center. This bus runs every 10 minutes and is a 24 hour service.
A few students choose to park in garages around the Medical Center. These CG parking
passes cost $693 and are distributed by lottery (entry deadline is July 27). Information about
the parking garage lottery can be found at:
http://www.tp.ohio-state.edu/students/parking/studentgaragelottery.shtml.
Warning: traffic and parking patterns will change drastically after the undergraduates return
to campus in September.

Family Life
Medical school certainly has its challenges, but throw in a spouse and some kids and it
becomes a significant life adjustment. Weve put together some advice about being married
and being a parent from students who have been there, done that.
Marriage
Being married as a Med 1 adds a very important and often challenging dynamic to an already
difficult course - to say less would be an understatement. The curriculum is demanding, and
there are heavy commitments on time that make the art of maintaining a healthy marriage
difficult. However, the companionship, compassion, communication, understanding, support,
accountability, and love found in a strong marriage relationship can make medical school an
extremely positive experience for both husband and wife. Often times, the support of a
spouse can make the medical school experience more enjoyable and survivable, and when
you graduate, youll both have made some amazing memories together.
In terms of managing a marriage in medical school, everyone must have their own approach
but a few themes are vital:
Communicate Busy schedules mean that there will be lots of things on a married
students mind, and it is very easy to bottle up stress until it boils over. Make sure to
communicate with your spouse and share the experience with them. Also, listening to
their feelings and interests outside of medicine is equally important.
Spend time together Again, things get busy, and it is easy to get buried in studies
and the variety of amazing extracurricular opportunities offered here. Make time for
your spouse, and never make them feel like they are second place to your career.
Take advantage of the free/discounted student tickets to take your spouse out (p. 47).
Coordinate Keep track of both of your schedules and find the holes. Plan out time
for each other and keep one another informed of important upcoming events (like
tests, volunteering, conventions, classes, etc.). This was the hardest skill to learn but
made the biggest impact!
Join in community together Find something you enjoy doing together. You can
fill in the blankbut date nights, church groups, clubs, hanging out with friends, and
seeing movies are a few suggestions. Also, building relationships with other married
medical students can really make a difference. Theres a group on campus called The
Other Half thats geared to help students form such friendships. Its worthwhile to
check it out.
Finally, if you are an out-of-state, married student and your spouse holds a full time job
anywhere in the state, you are eligible for immediate in-state tuition (youll save $12,000!).
For all other students, this process takes a full year and is fairly complicated. If you and your
spouse apply, be sure to drop by Student Financial Services for the details.
Parenting
Being a parent is never easy, but being a parent in medical school adds its own dimension of
chaos! You will definitely learn early on that many people think you are a bit crazy to raise
children and go to medical school. But there are LOTS of med parents out there!
Throughout all four years of medical school, you will hear a wide variety of parenting
experiences from classmates, residents, and professors. Ive found it useful to listen to the
different approaches that people have made work. There is a lot of formal support via the
Page 34
MED I ATLAS:
deans and counselors. There are also good Web bulletin boards out there, so try doing a
quick search for advice. Parenting medical students have made lots of things work, and it is
up to you to find your own balance. Some students make their school work like a jobstay
on campus until 5 pm or 6 pm, then put away the books to spend time with the spouse and
kids. Other students study after the kids are in bed or over the weekends. More than most
other students, youll have to figure out a system that keeps you one step ahead because you
never can predict when something will come up. Throughout all the balancing with kids,
dont forget to nurture your relationship with your spouse as well.
Living in Columbus, there are lots of fun activities for families. COSI is the science center
downtown that is fun for kids of different ages. Get a zoo pass! The zoo is never the same
twice, and it has lots to see beyond the animals: play areas, the boat and train rides, and the
carousel. The challenges of being a parent and going to medical school are definitely
manageable. Youll make lots of medical school friends, but often its nice to have other
friends who are parents outside the medical school. There is an active Attachment Parenting
group in Columbus (http://www.columbusapvillage.com/), and you will meet other parents at
daycare, church, and at your childrens activities.
Lots of medical students find that it is hard to feel like there is life outside of Meiling Hall.
Being in a family MAKES you have that life. Take advantage of this! Dont underestimate
your unique perspective. Being a physician with a family will never be easy. Medical school
is a great time to begin building the skills and habits that work for you. Parenting gives you
determination, patience, and flexibility that will all help you be a better student and physician.
Besides, youll totally rock your child development classes!

Sports & Recreation

Football Tickets
A big question on the minds of many incoming medical students is...how do I get Buckeye
football tickets? New students can purchase tickets June 1-30 at the website below. Tickets
to all four season home games cost $120. You can also purchase three preseason games. In
the past, first-year students have created a M1 seating group so that classmates can sit
together. This can be done on the ticket Website. Previous classes have found it helpful to
communicate this information through email or a Facebook group.
http://www.hangonsloopy.com/
Intramural Sports
Many medical students participate in intramural sports at OSU. Students have played a variety
of sports including flag football, dodge ball, volleyball, soccer, and ultimate Frisbee.
Information about intramural sports, including fees and registration dates, can be found at:
http://recsports.osu.edu/intramural-sports.
Gyms
There are several different OSU gyms near the medical school. The Recreation & Physical
Activity Center (RPAC) is located on campus next to the football stadium. The RPAC is home
to the main pools and racquetball courts. The Adventure Recreation Center (ARC) is located
on Woody Hayes Dr near Kenny Rd. The ARC has a climbing wall and indoor turf fields.
Jesse Owens South is a smaller gym located near the medical school.
You can find more information at: http://recsports.osu.edu/facilities.
Outdoors
There are many public parks and other outdoor facilities in the Columbus area and within a
few hours drive. Some popular ones include:
Columbus/Metro Parks
Schiller: 1069 Jaeger St

Goodale: 120 W Goodale Blvd

OUAB: http://ouab.osu.edu
Health Insurance
All medical students are required to have continuous health insurance coverage throughout
their four years at the College of Medicine. OSU offers full-coverage insurance as well as a
supplemental plan. Students remaining on their parents policy may wish to consider the
supplemental plan if Columbus area healthcare would be billed as out-of-network. The full
coverage insurance is around $550 per semester. If you have other health insurance,
you will need to waive OSU coverage online when you register for classes.
