Corewell Health Lakeland has been a base hospital for Central Michigan University College of Medicine since 2019. Our physicians are eager to share their knowledge and skills with students. The abundance of resources provided by our residency programs, on-site lectures, education facilities including an accredited simulation training center, create an excellent clinical learning environment. Our low student-to-faculty ratios assure to provide students with a quality learning experience.
