Family Medicine Residency

Internal Medicine Residency

At Mount Carmel, we take a balanced approach to residents’ development. Mount Carmel’s
Internal Medicine Residency Program is a three-year, fully-accredited program providing a
solid foundation in general internal medicine that prepares residents for American Board of
Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification.

Family Medicine Residency Mission Statement: “Providing Quality Patient Care and Service
to our Community in an Innovative Educational Environment”
Mount Carmel has provided a strong, academically based Family Medicine Residency
Program since 1975. This program has produced a diverse group of family physicians who
are leaders in the medical field throughout Ohio and the United States.

Additionally, we provide a wide range of clinical experiences to prepare residents for their
chosen practice environment. Inpatient management and core subspecialty rotations
are emphasized in the first year, with progressive experiences in the outpatient and
subspecialty settings emphasized in the second and third years.

The Mount Carmel Family Medicine Residency is a comprehensive, three-year, fully
accredited program. We offer comprehensive, family-centered medical care for all age
groups, including pediatric, adolescent, adult and geriatric medicine. Residents are trained
primarily at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s, a community-based hospital which provides our
residents with an unopposed learning environment.

At Mount Carmel, we emphasize community service. A core value we believe in is
providing care to the poor and underserved. Residents have many opportunities to help
people in the Columbus area and abroad. One of our established programs is an active
mobile coach outreach program. This program is headed by Dr. John O’Handley, a Family
Medicine faculty member who is a previous residency program director. Our residents
serve an active role in providing much-needed care to patients on the mobile coach while
further developing patient care and interaction skills.

Finally, we foster a culture of community engagement by encouraging our physicians to get
involved and make a difference in their communities. We believe that it is the balance of
these three qualities -- scholarship, clinical experience, and community engagement -- that
makes a Mount Carmel physician special.
