Biography

Dr. Heidelbaugh received his medical degree from Upstate Medical University at Syracuse in 1996, and completed his Family Medicine residency at St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center, also in Syracuse, New York, in 1999. He is board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. 

Dr. Heidelbaugh is actively involved in teaching both medical students and residents at Ypsilanti Health Center, and attends on the Department of Family Medicine's inpatient adult medicine at the University of Michigan Hospital. While he practices full spectrum family medicine (except active obstetrics), his clinical interests include preventive health screening for men, women and children of all ages; chronic disease management (e.g. diabetes, cardiovascular disease); comprehensive men's health; urologic and gastrointestinal conditions; and many office-based procedures. 

Dr. Heidelbaugh is a member of the editorial board of the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) National Journal Club which was created in 2020 to provide diplomates of the ABFM with evidence-based appraisals of current literature and to offer credit for maintenance of certification. Since 2007, he has served as the Consulting Editor for Primary Care Clinics in Office Practice, and is also an editorial board member of the American Academy of Family Physicians CME Monograph series, FP Essentials. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees for the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine (STFM). He is a co-editor and co-author of Case Files in Family Medicine, 5th edition and has contributed as a test question writer and editor for the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) Family Medicine "shelf" examination.
