Our residency program is strongly affiliated with Michigan State University’s College of Osteopathic Medicine Statewide Campus System providing significant benefits associated with a nationally renowned university.
OUR
campus
Our Mercy site located in Muskegon provides ample exposure to highly acute medical, cardiovascular and renal pathology. Our Hackley site is a level Trauma II center located in Muskegon Heights and also where we see most of our pediatric and OB/Gyn population. Without surgical residencies to compete for exposure, our residents have the rare opportunity to be the only participating residents in Trauma cases. Our Mercy Health St. Mary site is a Level II Trauma center and the the regional stroke center located in downtown Grand Rapids.
