Special Features

Our program changed its name from Michigan State University to Sparrow Hospital. This program is accredited by the ACGME. Most of our faculty are DOs. This gives strong exposure to MSK medicine and Osteopathic Manual Medicine. There is an allowance for meals at the hospital. All call is home call. Parking is free. For interviews we will prioritize signaling and personal statements that address our residency specifically for interviews. We utilize holistic application review.
