Program Director, MSU
Internal Medicine Residency Program
It is my pleasure to introduce you to
the Michigan State University Internal Medicine Residency
Program. We are committed to training residents who
will constantly pursue excellence. We strive to provide
a challenging yet supportive atmosphere, where autonomy
and supervision are in dynamic balance. MSU is a truly
energizing training site, fueled by a proactive team
spirit.
Our residents have an outstanding record
of success in achieving their goals, including subspecialty
and primary care careers. To prepare you for success
in your chosen career, we have created a flexible program
with a wide range of elective training opportunities.
Residents have the opportunity to pursue research, rotate
on subspecialty services, and pursue non-medicine specialty
rotations. In addition, we have numerous volunteer community
faculty who support primary care experiences at their
ambulatory offices.
Located in East Lansing, Michigan State
University is one of the largest universities in the
United States. With over 40,000 students, the campus
supports a significant international population of faculty,
students, and support personnel. Our affiliated hospital
teaching sites are located in neighboring Lansing, Michigan,
which is the Michigan state capital as well as a host
of automotive industry. The metro-Lansing area also
serves rural farming populations in the greater mid-Michigan
area. The extensive socioeconomic diversity of the combined
Lansing-East Lansing population supports a stimulating
training experience with broad diagnostic challenges.
Our faculty is committed to educational
excellence. The MSU College of Human Medicine is nationally
recognized as a leader in medical education, and as
a leading primary care medical school. Our training
hospitals have been repeatedly recognized by U.S. News
for national “top 50” care in numerous specialties.
Our residency program is committed to
your success. We maintain a supportive small-group atmosphere
that is well suited to creating strong bonds between
residents, faculty, and patients. Whatever your professional
goals may be, at MSU you will complete your transformation
from “student” to “physician”
while forming friendships that will last a lifetime.
