Family Medicine

The Department of Family Medicine is dedicated to advocating the ideals of family medicine, advancing the knowledge base of primary care, and serving communities and families across the state of Michigan. The department in East Lansing includes 18 board certified family physicians, a thriving research unit, educational specialists, and a creative and talented administrative group.

Its network of nine affiliated family practice residency programs encompasses programs in Flint, Grand Blanc, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Lansing, Marquette, Midland, Saginaw and Traverse City, with a total of almost 100 faculty members.

An impressive number of MSU College of Human Medicine (CHM) graduates chose careers in family practice. In 2002, CHM earned a Gold Achievement Award from the American Academy of Family Physicians for the school's outstanding efforts in developing student interest in family practice and producing graduates who enter the specialty. In 2003, the school earned the Silver Achievement Award.

(Note: The department has recently changed its name from The Department of Family Practice to The Department of Family Medicine)
