Ohio State University Medical Center
Background
For nearly 90 years, Ohio State University Medical Center has helped
medical students and residents discover the fascination of medicine
and research, and achieve academic and professional success with
its mission to create the future of medicine to improve people's
lives.
The history of medical education in central Ohio is both rich and
turbulent. Although The Ohio State University College of Medicine
was not officially established until 1914, its roots can be traced
to the founding of Willoughby Medical College, Willoughby, Ohio,
in 1834. In the intervening years, the school relocated, splintered,
reunited, and splintered again; finally combining to form Ohio State's
College of Medicine.

Today, Ohio State University Medical Center is one of the largest
and most diverse academic medical institutions in the country, with
seven health sciences colleges including dentistry, medicine, nursing,
optometry, pharmacy, public health, veterinary medicine, and the
School of Allied Medical Professions. All of these schools are positioned
in close proximity to each other to foster greater collaboration
between research projects.
In the 2006-2007 U.S. News & World Report "Best Graduate Schools"
edition, Ohio State University College of Medicine is listed as
seventh among all U.S. public medical schools. Ohio State has also
led the nation three years in a row in the number of faculty elected
to the American Association for the Advancement of Science. More
than 170 of the College's faculty are listed in Best Doctors in
America.
The College is currently a part of a massive 15-year construction
program that will set the standard for academic medical centers
of the future, creating dramatic and dynamic research, clinical
and learning environments.
One of the core learning environments of the Medical Center is
the Prior Health Sciences
Library which houses the Center
for Knowledge Management (CKM).
The ability to manage and assimilate the constantly growing pool
of information technology and human expertise creates unique challenges
for researchers, educators, clinicians and students in the modern
academic medical center. The CKM was created on the OSUMC campus
in 2004 and chartered to leverage the strengths of people, processes,
data and technology in order to foster the creation, analysis, dissemination
and utilization of knowledge. Integrating these activities amplifies
the value of knowledge based assets and both grow from and enhance
the medical centers commitment to excellence in biomedical research,
graduate education and personalized health care.
The CKM integrates numerous resource-intensive, technology-based
initiatives—including personnel, services and infrastructure,
digital repositories, data sets, mobile computing devices, computerized
testing and interactive multimedia—in a way that enables the
center to provide information tailored to the needs of students,
faculty and staff on the medical center campus and its surrounding
health sciences colleges.
