Scholarly Activity & Research Opportunities
At Mount Carmel, we believe research is a vital part of becoming a well-rounded physician.
Our Internal Medicine residents benefit from a robust scholarly environment designed to support curiosity, innovation, and academic growth.
Conference & CME Support
Residents are granted 5 CME days per year to attend medical conferences. Additionally, residents may receive up to $1,000 in additional funding to support their participation.
Protected Research Time
Residents are allotted half-days during Y weeks to focus on research, quality improvement, or scholarly projects—ensuring time to explore academic interests without compromising clinical responsibilities.
