Trinity Health Ann Arbor Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, faith-affiliated Transitional Year program sponsored primarily by Internal Medicine with support from General Surgery, offering up to twelve positions designed as a springboard into competitive specialties rather than an end-goal training year. The program's stated identity centers on preparing residents for fields such as Radiology, Ophthalmology, Anesthesiology, Dermatology, PM&R, Radiation Oncology, and Preventive Medicine, with graduates frequently returning to Trinity Health Ann Arbor for subsequent residency or attending careers, reflecting an institutional continuity valued by the program. The training environment is a Catholic health system hospital (St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor) whose mission emphasizes service to the poor and vulnerable and community-oriented care, though this is an institutional value rather than a described clinical curriculum feature. No research infrastructure, tracks, or procedural emphasis are described; the program's identity is built around functioning as a well-regarded, transitional launching pad rather than a specialty-specific or academic research environment.
