Dr. Michele Dritz
Dr. Dritz grew up as part of a military family, so she's from a little bit of everywhere, but has now made Ohio her home. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of California, San Diego, her medical degree at Albany Medical College in upstate New York and her Pediatric training at St Louis Children's Hospital/Washington University in Missouri. She then went on to complete her Adolescent Medicine fellowship training at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center along with additional training in healthcare quality improvement. After her fellowship, she practiced for 5 years as a civilian provider at Wright-Patterson AFB in their Adolescent Medicine clinic before joining Cornerstone Pediatrics.
In addition to her clinical work, she works closely with the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) as a medical director and consultant for some of the adolescent health care quality improvement programs in Ohio, is a member of the Ohio AAP's Committee on Adolescence, a founding member of the Ohio Adolescent Health Partnership and is an advisor to the Ohio Department of Health as part of their statewide work on improving adolescent health and well-being. Locally, she is a faculty member at the Wright State University School of Medicine, which allows her to work closely with medical students and pediatric residents. Dr. Dritz and her husband have two children.
