I love that it is a four year program which allows for more EM experience and more sub-surgical specialty experience. The cherry on top is the amazing culture among the attending physicians and residents.

Rockford, Michigan
Why I chose this program
-
I completed an audition rotation with West Michigan Emergency Medicine Residency and each day of training left me more impressed with the program than the last. The high acuity pathology at both level II trauma centers allowed for a lot of critical care time and procedures. Even as a student, I felt welcomed by all members of the Emergency Medicine team. The core faculty has a diverse training background and are genuinely interested in teaching.

Why I chose this program
-
West Michigan felt like home right away with family atmosphere that I mesh well with which was important with me. While having the opportunity to learn from a large variety of pathology, the bonus for me is location with beaches, snow and close to family.

Why I chose this program

After my interview day with Muskegon, I felt like I got along really well with the residents, and the hospital had the ED volumes and patient population I was looking for in a residency program.

Plainfield, Illinois
Why I chose this program
-
West Michigan has been like home since undergraduate. The Muskegon, Grand Haven and Grand Rapids areas have so much to do, whether its beaches, dunes, ArtPrize or breweries it's within 20-30 minutes. During interview season, the program seemed to have great leadership from the top down. The residents were enjoying themselves and felt supported.

Why I chose this program

I love West Michigan; being close to Lake Michigan provides a diverse range of outdoor activities and is insanely beautiful. I auditioned at Mercy Muskegon and was very impressed with the aptitude of the residents I worked with and the culture of the program – everyone was so nice and hard working!

Columbus, Ohio
Why I chose this program
-
Mercy Health Muskegon offered me the best of both worlds: a place where I could get an excellent emergency medicine education in an environment that doesn't compete with other specialties for procedures, and a close-knit program that allows residents a chance to work closely with faculty. It also doesn't hurt to have a veritable inland ocean (Lake Michigan) 5 minutes away and a town filled with friendly people and lots of fun things to do when not in the hospital.
