Mount Carmel Health is seeking applicants for a unique one year fellowship opportunity in Palliative Medicine. The Mount Carmel Foundation supports this program for the clinical training of palliative care fellows. As a community affiliate of The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Wright State University School of Medicine, Mount Carmel has provided Medical Education since the early 1900s. Mount Carmel is an integrated delivery network including four hospitals, various ambulatory centers, an array of community based services and a College of Nursing.

ACGME accreditation for the Fellowship is being applied for in 2007 when program application information becomes available through the ACGME.
- Extensive data has been maintained on all patients enrolled in Palliative Care Services since 1997. This data provides a source for research and quality improvement analysis.
