PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT SERIES

The Mercy Health St. Vincent Medical Center Orthopedic Surgery Residency Program is located in the heart of Toledo, Ohio. The program was founded in 1982 by Dr. Frank E. Jaeblon, who completed his orthopedic surgery residency at Parkview Hospital in Toledo, Ohio, a program in which no prior candidate had ever graduated. He became the first Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine to be Board Certified in Orthopedic Surgery in the United States.
Dr. Jaeblon initially established the residency program with one resident per class every other year. The program has grown to a complement of three per class, totaling 15 residents. Dr. Richard M. Miller took over as program director in 2015 and led the program to receive initial ACGME accreditation in 2019. Dr. Miller will be succeeded as program director by Dr. Seth Phillips in July 2025.
