Family Medicine Residency Program

Family Medicine

• The focus of the Family Practice Residency Program at MHP is ambulatory care. Through the 11,000 square foot residency clinic, the family practice resident works with supervising faculty to provide healthcare in an outpatient setting.
• The resident develops a private practice of their own patients by spending assigned days in clinical appointments. The resident’s practice consists of adult medical/surgical, obstetrical, pediatric and geriatric patients.
• The resident is offered the independence of managing and caring for patients in an ambulatory setting with a structured teaching program. Specialty rotations are scheduled to strengthen the resident’s learning in the major sub-specialties. Instruction and training in medicine, psychosocial development and practice management are integrated into the curriculum. The Residency Clinic also offers a variety of procedures that the resident uses to enhance their medical knowledge and skills.
• The 12 resident Family Practice Program started in 1989. This program meets the training requirements of the American Osteopathic Association for Residency Training in Family Medicine. A full time director coordinates the program and along with full and part time physician faculty provides the residents with educational leadership. The residency program is a founding member of the Statewide Campus System, in affiliation with Michigan State University.
