The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (MSUCHM) is an academic division of Michigan State University (MSU), and grants the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. CHM was founded in 1964 as the first community-integrated medical school, and has a program that emphasizes patient-centered care and a biopsychosocial approach to caring for patients. Required courses at the college reinforce the importance of ethics and professionalism in medicine.[4] In 2009, U.S. News & World Report ranked the school 20th for primary care and 7th for rural medicine.[5][6] More than 3,600 M.D.s have graduated from the College.[7] Pre-clinical campuses are located on MSU's main campus in East Lansing, Michigan and in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan, while the clinical rotations are at seven community campuses located throughout Michigan (see below).

History

Michigan State University appointed Andrew D. Hunt, MD as the first dean of the College of Human Medicine in 1964.[8] The college began training pre-clinical medical students in the fall of 1966, though these students needed to finish the final two years of their medical school education at other schools. The entering class of 1968 completed all four years of education at MSU, and graduated in the spring of 1972.

Clinical training

Clinical practice (undergraduate medical education during the third and fourth years of medical school), graduate medical education, and research takes place across seven campuses located in the Michigan cities of Flint, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Midland, Marquette, and Traverse City. Students are assigned to one of the campuses for their third and fourth years, rather than a specific hospital. The campus administration then places students at hospitals within the campus. After submitting a request, clinical students are also able to take a clerkship at a campus other than their assigned campus. Students may fulfill clerkship electives outside of the MSU system only in their fourth year.
