Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine

Corewell Health Lakeland has been a base hospital for MSU-COM since 2010. 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.
