Publications & Presentations
For many of our residents, making the most of their Mount Carmel experience includes taking part in scholarly pursuits that complement their participation in the Family Practice Residency Program. That tradition has been ably advanced by our recent residents. Many of our residents and faculty have contributed to respected medical publications or made regional and national presentations related to their research and experiences at Mount Carmel. A number of the contributions and presentations they've made since 2000 are outlined below.
