Henry Ford Health-Henry Ford Macomb Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, MSUCOM-affiliated osteopathic family medicine residency at Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, a 366-bed suburban Detroit teaching hospital with Level II trauma, structural heart, and stroke center capabilities. The program's explicit mission is outpatient-focused primary care for southeast Michigan communities, emphasizing patient-centered medical home principles, evidence-based medicine, and osteopathic manipulative practice rather than subspecialty fellowship preparation. Training blends a high-volume, high-acuity continuity clinic (Henry Ford Seville) with exposure to tertiary/quaternary sites (Henry Ford Main campus, Children's Hospital of Michigan, Harper-Hutzel), giving residents both community and academic-center experience. Distinctive structural features include mandatory OMT workshops, practice management/billing training, and MSUCOM GME Alliance educational days, signaling a program built to produce practice-ready osteopathic outpatient family physicians rather than researchers or fellowship-bound subspecialists.
