Corewell Health-Grand Rapids-Michigan State University Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a hybrid community-academic OB/GYN program built on two distinct clinical sites: Corewell Health Butterworth Hospital, a large tertiary referral center with over 8,000 deliveries and roughly 1,000 minimally invasive hysterectomies annually, and Trinity Health Grand Rapids, a community-based partner adding approximately 3,000 deliveries; both carry Level 4 NICUs, giving residents referral-level obstetric complexity alongside high surgical volume. The program emphasizes operative laparoscopy, subspecialty exposure across MFM, REI, urogynecology, gynecologic oncology, and complex family planning, plus a distinctive rural surgical experience through regional hospital rotations. Through its Michigan State University affiliation, residents hold clinical instructor appointments and teach medical students, while scholarly activity support (biostatistics, manuscript and presentation assistance, Research Day) enables both basic science and clinical research; the program states this combination has positioned graduates into both fellowship and academic faculty roles as well as independent practice. Program aims explicitly value self-directed, technically skilled generalists who are not constrained toward any single practice setting.
