Henry Ford Genesys Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Henry Ford Genesys is a 4-year community-based ACGME emergency medicine program in Grand Blanc, MI, built around a Level II/III trauma center seeing roughly 67,000 visits annually with a high trauma volume (16,000/year) and a resident-run procedural and resuscitation model in which residents independently manage codes, traumas, and pediatric resuscitations. Training is broadened through rotations at Hurley Medical Center (pediatric EM), Corewell Royal Oak (pediatric critical care), and Detroit Medical Center, giving exposure beyond the home site's community population. The program's signature structural feature is its five longitudinal Professional Development Tracks (EMS, Healthcare Administration, Medical Education, Research, Ultrasound/Resuscitative Medicine), sampled in PGY1 and declared in PGY2, indicating a deliberate emphasis on individualized career-skill development rather than a single research or academic mandate. Research is supported through a dedicated track and clinical research director relationship but is not positioned as central to the program's identity, which instead prioritizes hands-on procedural autonomy and practice-ready generalist competence "in any setting."
