The Ohio State University Medical Alumni Society

An innovative program at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center called Pain Rehabilitation and Education: Values and Actions that Improve Life (PRE:VAIL) is tailoring care to change the dynamic of pain management for those with chronic pain.

A team of doctors, physical therapists and pain psychologists collaborate to help patients with osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, hypermobility syndromes, chronic regional pain syndrome and other chronically painful conditions stay afloat.

Each year, The Ohio State University College of Medicine allows its graduating students to nominate a member of the faculty who has significantly impacted their training. The Professor of the Year Award is the highest teaching award given within the College of Medicine and marks a career of excellence in medical education. This is made possible by an endowment provided by Dr. Mary Beth Fontana, faculty emeritus.

The College of Medicine is pleased to announce Dr. Megan E. Conroy, Division of Pulmonary Disease and Critical Care Medicine, as the 2026 Professor of the Year, as selected by the graduating Class of 2026.

Dr. Conroy is described as a tremendous educator whose teaching and leadership have touched nearly every fourth‑year medical student. She is widely recognized for her ability to break down complex physiology and create a learning environment that is both supportive and challenging.

Please join us in congratulating Dr. Megan E. Conroy, the 2026 College of Medicine Professor of the Year. 🎉

As our HOST program wraps up for the year, we wanted to highlight one of our mentor/mentee matches: Dr. Fouras and Julianna. They were able to meet up in person during this mentorship experience and had a great time! ❤️

Vesalius, a 16th-century physician, was one of the first practitioners to dissect human corpses.
