Residents will have extensive opportunities to participate in direct patient care and the development of ongoing individual patient panels
in our two Family Health Centers.
Faculty preceptors are available in the Family Health Centers during all patient care sessions with no responsibilities other than
supervising and teaching residents. Each Family Health Center has its own
obstetrical practice and deliveries are supervised by family physicians.
Participation in Medicaid, Medicare, managed health care plans, and commercial
insurance plans provide a wide socioeconomic mix in the Family Health Centers.
The two training sites are:
Sparrow Family Health Center-Central (located adjacent to Sparrow Hospital in
the Sparrow Professional Building). Central provides care for 20,000 patients annually.
There are 5-6 full-time equivalent faculty and 10 upper level residents assigned to this site.
Sparrow Family Health Center-Mason
(located 16 miles southeast of Lansing in the Mason Community Health
Center). SFHC-Mason provides care for 9,000 patients
annually. Two full-time equivalent faculty and six upper level residents
are assigned to this more rural training site.
