Orson J Austin , MD

I attended the Brooklyn College Branch of the City University of New York.  I then proceeded to Meharry Medical College and subsequently to the University of Cincinnati residency program where I served as co-chief resident during my final year.  I have completed a faculty  development fellowship at the University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill.  I completed a survey research project on PSA screening by primary care physicians.   My research interests include geriatrics, preventive medicine and minority health issues.  I hope to continue small research projects in the future.  I am married with two young sons and a daughter.  My personal interests include spending time with my family, listening to music, and various exercise and sporting activities.  I also enjoy spending time with medical students, both on a formal and informal basis.
