Overall, our goal is to train well-rounded family physicians. There's no question that a
graduate of the Sparrow/MSU Family Medicine Residency Program will be able to supply excellent
comprehensive continuing care to individuals and families, and directly take care of 95 percent of
patients who come through the office door. We also feel that it's integral to total care for a
physician to act as a health coordinator and patient advocate in the medical care system.
You'll find that the residency experience at Sparrow/MSU is a time for uniting the idealism of medical school
with the realism of private practice, not sacrificing one for the other. More specifically,
the goals of our Residency Program include:
- Supporting personal and family life of our residents.
- Providing an academically excellent education in co-management of health care and promotion.
- Utilizing a competency-based approach to teach, evaluate, and document each resident's training experience.
- Offering diverse experiences in a variety of practice situations.
- Promoting an adaptable, imaginative model for continuing medical education.
- Modeling the appropriate use of consultants.
- Fostering high quality, evidence-based, integrated patient care across the full spectrum of family medicine.
- Providing exposure to medical informatics.
- Offering an academic milieu that stimulates scholarly activity.
