PARTICIPATING INSTITUTIONS
Michigan State University
The College of Human Medicine at Michigan State University - Flint Campus provides clinical instructions each year for approximately 200 residents, 50 of our medical students, and 30 visiting medical students. Three area hospital (Genesys Regional Medical Center - St. Joseph Campus, Hurley Medical Center, and McLaren Regional Medical Center) join Michigan State University in creating a unique community/university academic setting. Within this environment, clerkships are structured in such a way to provide you with the opportunity to learn clinical medicine while under faculty supervision and with increasing responsibility for patient care.
We're a primary care oriented medical school using a community - integrated model to teach our residents and medical students. We are able to draw upon the resources of a major university but are small enough to get to know our residents and students on a first name basis. It really is a unique setting for medical education.
