Welcoming Dr. Robert Carlin as the new Postgraduate Education Assistant Program Director in the Department of Family Medicine

The Department of Family Medicine is happy to announce that Dr. Robert Carlin will be joining the Postgraduate Education team as the new Assistant Program Director, effective September 1, 2019.
