The medical school in Columbus has appointed Bob Towner-Larsen to serve as its first Graduate Medical Education Ombuds. He offers house staff (interns, residents and fellows) a neutral, independent and confidential resource designed to foster autonomous resolution of workplace issues. Towner-Larsen is also a physician coach at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s hr department. He has also counseled faculty and staff in The Ohio State University’s Office of Career Development.

Prior to joining Ohio State, he held positions in the student affairs offices at Kenyon College, Grinnell College, and Princeton University. Towner-Larsen earned a master's at Princeton Theological Seminary and a PhD in Counseling Education at The Ohio State University. He has also completed IOA training. (OSU GME Ombuds; LinkedIn.)
