SHARE Research

A core component of SHARE is academic scholarship. Clinicians at Silver Hill Hospital have long been involved in publishing and presenting their work. SHARE provides a platform for disseminating this information and encouraging further scholarship through regularly scheduled writing groups to help clinicians communicate their unique work. 

Silver Hill Hospital clinicians are prolific in sharing their learnings with the field.  The link below leads to recent Research Articles, Chapters and Books, and Conference Presentations.
