Detroit Medical Center-Wayne State University Sinai Grace Program

Program Identity & Fit

Sinai-Grace is a university-affiliated (Wayne State), high-acuity, safety-net community hospital program anchored by the busiest emergency department in Detroit and a 404-bed facility serving an urban patient population with significant medical complexity and multiple comorbidities. The curriculum is built around fellowship preparation, with all IM subspecialties represented on site, a full-time Director of Research, a structured first-year Multi-Disciplinary Medicine course covering biostatistics and evidence-based medicine, and a required case report/QI project culminating in Research Day presentations. The program emphasizes graduated resident autonomy under full-time faculty and private attendings, limited admitting caps to preserve teaching time, and an "open-door" faculty culture, while reporting a >95% ABIM pass rate and >95% fellowship match rate. It positions itself as producing strong general internists first, whether they proceed to primary care practice or competitive subspecialty fellowship.
