Olivia Thompson, DO
Credentials: Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine
Position title: PGY-2 Resident
Dr. Olivia Thompson grew up in White Cottage, Ohio, and went to Capital University in Columbus, where she majored in biology. Choosing pediatrics seemed natural, because she had spent so much of her life working with kids that it seemed simply a fact that she would go into pediatrics. Being able to spend each day working with kids of all ages brings her enormous joy; she can only hope to give joy in return. As a lifelong learner, Thompson is passionate about patient education and wants patients and their families to learn along with her. Improved health literacy empowers patients to make informed decisions about their health while simultaneously combatting misinformation. In her last year of medical school, Thompson learned how to crochet and has been working on many fun projects. She also enjoys reading and playing video games.
