Update 6/17

Have not posted in a while but hopefully that will change. We are going through a more formal affiliation with Promedica in Toledo.  This will lead to a deeper connection of our residency program to Toledo Hospital.  A good thing. If you are a medical student interested in our program and would like more information about this affiliation and our program please contact me at terrence.lewis@utoledo.edu.
