I’m very extroverted and love any opportunity to hang out and chat. Why Family Medicine? I love the unique opportunity integrated behavioral healthcare in family medicine provides. I like that I get to treat patients across the life span while collaborating with their medical providers on their treatment plans and needs. I believe family medicine enables a more complete and better care by combining pical medicine with behavioral medicine in one environment. |

Jeremy Golding, MD, ABFM, FAAFP Professor of Family Medicine Professor of OB-GYN Department Quality Officer Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, MD, 1987 Highland Hospital/University of Rochester Family Medicine Residency (1990) Health Services Research and General Academic Preparatory Fellowship at University of Rochester School of Medicine (1991) Clinical/Academic Interests: Evidence-based medicine, adolescent medicine, women's health, computers and electronic technology in medicine, electrocardiography, dermatology, office surgical procedures, office ultrasound. I'm the associate editor of The 5 Minute Clinical Consult (Lippincott/Wolters Kluwer Health). I can’t believe I’m fortunate enough to get paid to write and edit and learn! About Jeremy: After completing a fellowship in health services research in Rochester, I practiced family medicine, college health, and emergency medicine for about 10 years before coming to UMass. I was also a medical advisor of a Planned Parenthood site in CT. I have a particular interest and expertise (certificate of added qualifications from the ABFM) in adolescent medicine. I enjoy seeing patients at Clark University. Outside of medicine, I enjoy the outdoors, especially hiking and downhill skiing. I run for exercise. I love (really love) to sing and folk dance. Why Hahnemann? I joined Hahnemann because I felt a particular kinship with the faculty there. We share a sense of mission to our patients and a passion for teaching our learners. We offer full spectrum women's care, office procedures, and treat OUD with buprenorphine. All of our residents come with diverse interests and needs, and they are well-supported by an equally diverse, intelligent, amazing, and compassionate faculty committed to resident education. Why Family Medicine? I think I would get bored doing the same thing every day! Instead, I am constantly challenged by the innumerable presentations we see here in our office. I get to practice to the full extent of my knowledge, training, and experience. I have several multigenerational families in my practice, and find getting to know all my patients very satisfying. Over time, I have grown with them. I cannot imagine practicing any other medical specialty. Although I will never be in the highest paid of physician specialties, I am already the most rewarded for my work. |

I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing degree from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and graduated with my Doctor of Nursing Practice from UMass Chan Medical School.

In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, reading, photography and spending quality time outside with my family and dog. Why Hahnemann? The majority of my nursing career has been throughout the UMass healthcare system and these positive experiences lead me to want to remain in the organization as a provider. I have worked at the bedside at both the University and Memorial campuses. I am looking forward to working at Hahnemann and providing primary care services that I hope will prevent many of the hospitalizations I have seen as an inpatient nurse. I also live locally and enjoy serving my surrounding community. |
