Why I chose this Program​

• Why I chose this Program Trinity Health Muskegon was my first audition of 4th year. After the first few shifts I was blown away by the acuity of patients coming into the ED. The residents and attendings were amazing teachers and truly cared not only about the patients. Another reason I chose West Michigan EM Residency is that it is unopposed, meaning there are no ortho or surgery residents at this hospital, which means the ER does many of the procedures that would normally be relegated to ortho or surgery residents.
