Community-Based. Mission-Focused.
Our Leadership in Rural Medicine programs offer students the opportunity to gain hands-on clinical training in rural communities and hospitals. Students spend 2 years during their Early Clinical and Middle Clinical Experiences at either the East Lansing or Grand Rapids Campuses. In years 3 and 4 they relocate to their pre-matriculation designated rural campus in Midland, Traverse City or Marquette. There students receive small-group, hands-on, rural clinical learning experiences to complete their medical education. Students who participate in these programs match into competitive residencies throughout the state and country and in a variety of specialties.
The Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health and the College of Human Medicine have partnered for many years to promote public health across the state, nation, and globe. The College of Human Medicine and Department of Public Health have a dual degree program where students are able to achieve their Master in Public Health while also completing their medical degree. This program also has a Rural Public Health concentration that students in the Leadership in Rural Medicine Program may want to consider. Please learn more at the Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health, Master of Public Health website.
