Welcome
Our University of Michigan Health-Sparrow/Michigan State University Emergency Medicine Residency Program has a lot to offer. We are one of the oldest programs in the U.S. and have a rich history here in Lansing—Dr Wiegenstein, the founder of emergency medicine, trained residents in this very institution. East Lansing is the headquarters for the American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM). The Michigan Chapter Emergency Physicians' office is also located here in Lansing. Our affiliation with Michigan State University (MSU) College of Human Medicine and College of Osteopathic Medicine affords our residents opportunities to teach medical students within the respective colleges.
Our faculty is dedicated to providing our residents with the best possible experience. We recognize that many of our residents learn differently, and we strive to accommodate their learning styles as effectively as possible. Our goal is to train exceptional leaders in emergency medicine. Our focus is on community-based emergency medicine. We strive to produce residents well-diversified in their training, so they can go on to practice anywhere, whether in large or small settings. We have graduates who enter clinical practice immediately and many who pursue fellowships in various fields. As an emergency medicine resident, we promise that we will offer you excellent training in emergency medicine and all the tools you will need to be successful in a career as an emergency physician. Thank you for your interest in our program.
