Jacob Trapp, DO

Jacob Trapp, DO, earned his doctorate in osteopathic medicine at Michigan State University and completed his internships and residencies in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio before moving to Lexington, where his fiancée is a pharmacist. Trapp’s residency training included a year of internship with Henry Ford Allegiance Health in Jackson, Michigan, one year of clinical anesthesiology with the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, and three years of Family Medicine in New Richmond, Ohio, just outside Cincinnati, at The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education, based in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Residents in the program do clinical training in needy communities across the United States.

“The most important thing when it comes to patients is that you have to take them as a whole individual – not just medical problems, but also mind, body and spirit,” said Dr. Trapp. “My favorite experience is when I’m really able to help a patient and have done something to improve their lives, and they come back and say, ‘Dr. Trapp you’ve really made a difference.’”

Dr. Trapp is a member of the American Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association. He recently served on several committees for The Wright Center for Graduate Medical Education in Cincinnati.
