Biography
Mary Jo Panzone Welker, MD, a native of Columbus, Ohio, received both her bachelor’s degree (1972) and her Doctor of Medicine degree (1976) from The Ohio State University. After completing her residency at Riverside Methodist Hospital, she worked in private practice until returning to Ohio State in 1995. Dr. Welker became chair of The Ohio State University Department of Family Medicine in 1999. At that time, the department was understaffed and running a deficit. Under her leadership the department more than doubled the number of faculty, increased research funding, grew the number of patients served and established a significant endowment. Additionally, she supported development of a multi-track educational program to attract more students to family medicine that became a national model for educating family physicians.
In her role as chair of the Department of Family Medicine, she was also associate dean for primary care, a professor of clinical family medicine, and director of the University’s primary care network. In 2004 at the annual meeting of the American Medical Women’s Association she was recognized as a ‘local legend.’ U.S. Representative Patrick Tiberi nominated her for this honor. From 2001 forward she was listed as one of the Best Doctors in America. Dr. Welker was an engaged member and leader of multiple professional organizations including the American Academy of Family Physicians, the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians, and the Ohio Medical Association. She was the first woman to serve as president of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians.
