Rotations

The Family Medicine Residency is able to utilize the resources of a large multi-hospital system while still providing a primarily unopposed experience for its residents. 

• residents do some rotations at  Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital, such as
  • obstetrics
  • inpatient pediatrics
  • outpatient pediatrics
  • orthopedics
  • geriatrics
  • emergency medicine
    • the larger patient volumes and subspecialists provide an outstanding experience in these areas
• remainder of the required rotations are done at  Corewell Health Beaumont Grosse Pointe Hospital and include:
  • family medicine inpatient
  • emergency medicine
  • cardiology
  • general surgery
  • intensive care/pulmonology
  • multiple electives are available (example: gastroenterology, dermatology, endocrinology, rheumatology, infectious disease, hematology/oncology, neurology, podiatry, additional sports medicine, complementary and alternative medicine)

Many of our rotations have the residents working directly with the specialists who are dedicated to providing an excellent, individualized education. Being a part of a larger hospital system also provides access to electives, subspecialists, technologies, and research opportunities that may not be available in other settings.
