Council recognizes Montana Family Medicine Residency and two new residents
Summary
Council and community leaders recognized the Montana Family Medicine Residency program and introduced new interns, highlighting the program’s role in training physicians who often remain to practice in Montana and the program’s new Miles City rural track.
Council member Mark Nicholson introduced a recognition for the Montana Family Medicine Residency program, praising its 30‑year record training physicians who often remain in Montana. Two interns — Ashutosh Porel and Melinda Lueders — spoke about their training and reasons for choosing Billings.
Porel described the residency as an opportunity to serve the Billings community and gain broad clinical experience; Lueders said she moved from North Carolina to complete her training and praised Montana’s commitment to access to care. Nicholson said the residency is an important local workforce pipeline and noted a new rural track in Miles City.
