The Corewell Health – Grand Rapids/Michigan State University Internal Medicine Residency program is a three-year program accepting 15 positions per year. We provide a rich educational experience with a culturally diverse population. With over 670 beds, Butterworth Hospital is a Level I Trauma Center and a clinical leader in cardiovascular, cancer, and neurosciences, among many others. The availability of higher-level services provided at Corewell Health in West Michigan, including heart, lung, and bone marrow transplants, has added to the exposure of these complex specialized patient populations to our resident physicians and truly enhanced the educational experience we are able to offer. Corewell Health in West Michigan has been awarded primary stroke center and heart failure certifications and has won the Beacon Award for Critical Care Excellence.

Our program, your future

Program Aims

  1. Develop individual learning plans that provide a foundational education in general internal medicine that will prepare residents for diverse clinical and academic settings including hospitalist medicine, primary care medicine, and subspecialty care
  2. Engage our residents in scholarship, patient safety, and quality improvement to instill the values of innovative lifelong learning
  3. Empower our physicians as clinical instructors, developing effective teachers of peers and undergraduate medical students
  4. Create opportunities for residents to be leaders of multidisciplinary teams
  5. Foster resident and faculty camaraderie
  6. Support and embrace the importance of physician wellness

Didactics

  • Noon report (three per week) – Conducted by the chief resident and key faculty members, interesting cases or admissions on the teaching services are presented sharpening clinical reasoning skills, differential diagnoses, diagnostic dilemmas, appropriate interventions, and therapeutics.
  • Formal resident patient handoffs – Occur twice a day to ensure the utmost quality and safety with transitioning care to covering residents.
  • Teaching rounds (daily) – Each inpatient team, led by one faculty member, spends one to two hours discussing patients on the service with an emphasis placed on bedside teaching.
  • Grand Rounds – Weekly
  • Mortality chart review, safety cases, and readmission root cause analysis – A regularly occurring conference built on our noon report and didactic sessions. The emphasis is on providing safe, timely, and effective care, rooted in the six core ACGME competencies.
  • Morbidity and mortality (one per block) – Formal presentation by senior-level residents at grand rounds.

  • Continuity clinic specialized education – Each week, residents are provided reading material addressing multiple aspects of outpatient/ambulatory care medicine which include non-medicine subject matters such as ethics, billing, coding, running a practice, and more. Prior to each clinic, the reading material is discussed with a key faculty member(s) who staff the clinics.
  • Core curriculum lectures (weekly) – The core curriculum is given as a three-hour lecture block each Friday. This is protected time free of clinical duties for the education of our residents. All disciplines within the field of internal medicine are presented by community subspecialists to prepare our residents for board certification in internal medicine.
  • Journal club/evidence-based medicine reviews (one-two per block) – Upper-level residents select peer-reviewed journal articles that are critically reviewed by house staff.
  • Procedure skills lab (two per year) – This two-to-three-hour session gives residents the opportunity to hone procedure skills such as intubations, thoracentesis, central access, and more. In addition, mock codes are performed in each block.
  • Point of Care Ultrasound - Simulation, didactics, and plenty of hands-on patient experience. Now features a senior-level procedure elective learning and performing paracentesis and thoracentesis.

Manageable and realistic resident research opportunities

The internal medicine program strongly supports resident research, and many of our faculty are involved in clinical research. Part of this support comes from the scholarly activity support team, which offers biostatistics consultation and poster preparation.

Residents develop a research project during their residency training and can present at numerous meetings. Residents will be expected to submit their work for presentation at an institutional Research Day. Some have even been submitted for publication! Financial support can be requested not only from our internal medicine program but also from the scholarly activity support team.

From the program director

Welcome to the Corewell Health – Grand Rapids/Michigan State University Internal Medicine Residency. I’m so glad you decided to stop by our website and learn more about our awesome program! Let me tell you why I think it’s an amazing place to learn and grow and why you should be here.

Our residents primarily train at Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital (part of Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals). Since 1873, Butterworth Hospital has been growing and building a reputation of excellence in care, diagnostics, treatment, prevention and education. It is the flagship hospital for Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals, which includes Fred and Lena Meijer Heart Center, Helen DeVos Children's Hospital and Corwell Health Cancer Center at Lemmen-Holton Cancer Pavilion.

The brilliance of our “Medical Mile” allows our residents to practice medicine in world-class facilities. Corewell Health in West Michigan and Grand Rapids has more than 100 years of investing in graduate medical education. As medicine has evolved, so has our residencies. We are proud to have produced some of the best primary care and hospitalist physicians, in addition to having prepared the many others who have gone on to fellowship training in various internal medicine subspecialties.

While our hospitals and clinics are second to none, we boast the most about our community attending physicians and the passion they have for resident education! We have high expectations of our residents and with the guidance of our faculty and staff, our residents always rise to the occasion. We place a strong emphasis on education over service. Our general medicine units and ICUs are staffed with attending physicians 24/7. All our teaching services are closely supervised by in-house attending physicians. There is always someone to look to and to learn from, making ours a nonmalignant learning environment that fosters mentorship and camaraderie. Simply put, we make good doctors!

We invite you to learn more about our community here in West Michigan. It is a beautiful place to live and Michigan’s second largest populated city. Whether you enjoy walking along the riverside taking in the view of the rapids, watching minor league sporting events such as baseball, basketball or hockey, attending big-ticket artist concerts, taking in a Broadway play, the symphony, or perusing downtown for museums and good eateries, there is something here for you. So, check us out! We hope to see you soon!
