Program highlights
- Decide and explain your clinic-site preference: urban Lansing (city and MSU patients) versus rural Mason (farming communities, factories, adult foster care homes).
- If you are a DO or interested in OMM, emphasise osteopathic recognition; the program aims for a 50/50 MD/DO mix.
- Ask about the Advanced Maternity Care/OB track (OB night float time in PGY2-3) if you want obstetrics in your practice.
- Mention interest in scholarship: residents direct a two-year supported project (QI, systematic review, curriculum development, narrative writing).
- Ask about the associated Sports Medicine fellowship and the PGY3 sports medicine, MSK and dermatology rotations.
- Highlight integrated care: behavioral health and pharmacy colleagues work inside the clinics; more than 50% of the hospital's FM department are graduates of the program or its parent program.
