OSU Physicians, formally Ohio State University Physicians, Inc., is a multi-specialty medical group that manages the outpatient faculty practices of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and delivers primary and specialty care across central Ohio.

Beyond patient care, the group supplies administrative infrastructure for its physician practices, handling billing, compliance, credentialing, HR, and managed care administration. What sets it apart is its role as the practice-management backbone of an academic health system, aligning institutional and departmental resources with faculty physicians. The goal is to deliver high-quality, patient-focused outpatient care while keeping the medical center's faculty practices running.
