Corewell Health Farmington Hills Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, community-based four-year OB-GYN residency (two residents per class, eight total) at a major osteopathic teaching hospital affiliated with Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, combining the intimacy of a community program with access to subspecialty partnerships in maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology, gynecologic oncology, and urogynecology at nearby tertiary centers. Surgical training is emphasized as a distinguishing strength, with residents reporting laparoscopic and robotic case volumes at or above national benchmarks and early, hands-on OR participation. Scholarly activity is required (one publishable paper or approved project over four years) but is not positioned as a defining feature; the program explicitly states most graduates enter community-based practice (private or hospital-employed) rather than fellowship, though it supports those pursuing subspecialty training. The program values residents who take initiative, function well within a close-knit "community family," and are prepared to build careers as generalist surgeon-obstetricians in busy community settings.
