I completed a rotation here and it was obvious from Day 1 that not only were the residents easy to get along with and learn from, but the attendings were all equally as wonderful. Not to mention the surrounding areas are beautiful with plenty of options available for different interests.

I don't have a hometown, as I've lived all over!
Why I chose this program
-
Everyone here was so welcoming and invested, and I felt like I fit here. I love the community hospital setting and was impressed by the curriculum here. Although 4-year programs may not be as popular, I really saw how well this program used that time to develop outstanding physicians. Plus, West Michigan is a beautiful location!

Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine
Residency Training
-
Indianapolis, Indiana
Why I chose this program
-
Dr. Offman was the most down-to-earth and engaged program director I met along the audition and interview trail. The residents at Muskegon were knowledgeable and confident and had a great vibe when together. I wanted to be busy as an EM resident, and Muskegon had an incredible ED volume and pathology while residents were able to do their procedures largely unopposed.
