Henry Ford Health-Henry Ford Jackson Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

Henry Ford Jackson Hospital's Family Medicine Residency is a community-based, dual AOA/ACGME-accredited program affiliated with Michigan State University's Statewide Campus System, training residents within a 420-bed south-central Michigan health system that serves as the regional referral point for surrounding counties. Continuity clinic is anchored at the Center for Family Health, a Federally Qualified Health Center providing primary care to underserved patients regardless of ability to pay, reflecting a safety-net orientation within a broader community hospital scope of practice. The curriculum is broad-based (inpatient medicine, OB, pediatrics, ICU, ultrasound, sports medicine, geriatrics) without a research mandate or subspecialty tracks, and the program explicitly states its goal is to prepare residents for busy community family medicine practice. As a newer program with younger leadership, it emphasizes hands-on clinical exposure over academic infrastructure.
