Residency Education

Our program offers a variety of unique educational experiences. Our residents rotate through rural and urban facilities both in hospitals and ambulatory settings. The educational curriculum is designed to provide the resident with varied experiences and perspectives throughout our Michigan community. Prioritizing patient care and the education of our residents is at the core of our mission. We provide engaging educational opportunities such as DEI-themed book clubs, a department-wide Film Festival, Residency Research Poster Day, resident sub-specialty conferences, community outreach projects, resident retreats, and resident wellness days.
