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 Corewell 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 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!
