“Our program is one of the best in Michigan, not only because it is supervised at each step but it has excellent teaching staff who prepare every resident for the real world. The variety of patients and severity of diseases makes the learning exciting. Such experiences make us an expert in common as well as in unique pathology.”
“I am loving this residency program because of its absolutely wonderful people and great diversity, which is appreciated and celebrated. We receive just the right amounts of autonomy and guidance. Great morning rounds and teaching. A very structured and organized program with regular lectures and presentations and board question preparation. Preceptorship at the clinic is a big plus. I am learning everyday and loving it.”
“A program truly committed to excellence! And family friendly, too.”
“I like the emphasis on community health issues and psychosocial problems. We have vast exposure to the whole array of medical duties which are most characteristic for local community population.”
“This program has helped me in all ways to mature as a full-fledged Family Medicine physician, capable of treating a patient from the cradle to the grave.”
“After training here, I feel prepared to go to most any practice setting. Our faculty are dedicated. I’ve learned the importance of compassion in treating patients. I’ve also learned that treating the patient and his disease experience is what sets family medicine apart from other specialties. The program provides a great balance of academic setting and community hospital setting. You get the best of both worlds.”
"I never thought I would say this, but my time in this residency program has gone by so quickly. That statement is a testament to how streamlined and well run this program is and continues to be. Like any resident I have had my challenges (lecture attendance) that I continue to work on, but overall this has been the best experience I could have had. I believe that I have become a very competent physician not only because the curriculum is outstanding and the environment is conducive to learning, but also because the faculty and staff actually cared about my well being as a person. Being chief resident, I was able to see if the caring went on behind closed doors when no one was watching and to my amazement, it continued to remain a priority. I know in my heart that something bigger than myself brought me to this program and I am forever grateful for the opportunity that I have been afforded. I can honestly say there is no other place in the country that I could have received such well-rounded training than here at Wayne State University. Thank you all!" - Kimberly Smash, M.D. Chief Resident
