Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine
Corewell Health Lakeland is a base hospital for Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine. Physicians at Lakeland are eager to share their knowledge and skills with students. The abundance of resources provided by our residency programs, on-site lectures, and educational facilities, including an on-site accredited simulation training center, create an excellent clinical learning environment. The low student-to-faculty ratio provide students with a quality learning experience.
