Synergy Medical Education Alliance
Synergy Medical Education Alliance is part of a progressive move forward in medicine. Synergy Medical offers community-based, fully-accredited residency training programs.
Synergy Medical Education Alliance was formed in 1969 to coordinate all of the medical education activities in the Saginaw community. The corporation's primary educational missions include undergraduate medical education (third and fourth year medical students), residency training and continuing medical education for all Saginaw Physicians.
Our formal affiliation with Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (MSU-CHM) means that our residents and faculty benefit from daily interaction with third- and fourth-year medical students who are completing their clinical training here.
Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, in partnership with Synergy Medical Education Alliance, is pleased to offer a new medical student clinical education program at the CHM Saginaw Campus. In recognition of the additional work required by students enrolled in this program, students will receive special recognition on their transcripts and their diplomas as having completed a specialization. The program, Leadership in Medicine for the Underserved , will graduate a cohort of physicians who possesses, in addition to the fundamental core of knowledge and skills for the medical degree, a special set of knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable them to lead efforts to address the needs of medically underserved populations of the United States and Internationally.
Close to 80 resident physicians make up the Synergy Medical house staff. Our residents rotate among our member hospitals, which have a combined bed capacity of nearly 1,000, and feature state-of-the-art facilities and the best in medical care.
Located at 1000 Houghton Ave. , in Saginaw , Michigan , Synergy Medical provides administrative offices for all the teaching programs. Combined with Generations Family Care (Synergy Medical's Clinic), we provide over 40,000 pat ient visits annually and a medical library which acts as the health sciences library for the region.
