 The
Family Medicine Residency Program Network is a collaborative effort
of the family practice residency programs affiliated with Michigan
State University. The goal of the Family Medicine Residency Network
is to serve the faculty, staff, and residents of the MSU-affiliated
programs — bringing them together for activities and collaborative
efforts of mutual benefit, as well as serving the individual programs.
These residency programs include:
The Network strives to foster collaboration in projects and research, and resource exchanges between programs. The goal of the Network is to work together toward excellence in residency education for all affiliated programs. Network ActivitiesThe Senior Resident Leadership Training was held May 10-11, 2007, at the Kettunen Retreat Center in Tustin, Michigan. The focus of this training is on developing leadership skills (particularly interpersonal and administrative skills) among “to-be” senior residents (particularly chief residents). The training also encourages future communication and collaboration among residents in the Network. Nearly 30 residents attended. The Residency Program Annual Retreat, September 13-14, 2007, was hosted by the Midland Family Medicine Residency. Michael L. Tuggy, MD, Director of the Swedish Family Medicine Residency in Seattle, Washington, presented the keynote address "Electronic Curriculum Database" and Andrew Bone, MD, from the Midland Residency Program did a comparison of Electronic Tracking Systems. There was a discussion about participation in the Family Medicine Digital Resources Library database. Residency Program Director’s Meetings are held four times during the academic year to discuss Network activities and facilitate sharing across programs. The National Family Medicine Board Review Course was revised and delivered in 2007 by the Network in three courses during May (Chicago) and June (Arlington, VA and Las Vegas). This is a collaboration of the Center for Medical Education, Inc. and Dowden Health Media, along with the MSU Department of Family Medicine. Compact discs of all the slide presentations and an audio version of the course have been delivered to each participating residency program. Network News is a newsletter covering Network activities, people, and key issues in family medicine. FPR-NET is a listserv for the faculty of the network, allowing communication with many faculty by sending one message. Updates and resources relating to family medicine and graduate medical education are sent as needed. Members can send messages by sending email to fpr-net@list.msu.edu. For further information, contact Network Director marolee.neuberger@hc.msu.edu or 517-884-0439. To learn more, see our most recent Annual Report. |

MidMichigan Family Practice Residency ProgramWilliam Dery, MD, Director A resident's central clinical experience in the program will be in the care of a patient panel through the Family Practice Center. The resident will have the responsibilities of being their personal family physician. One unique feature of the Midland program involves our commitment to the continuity of patient care through daily office hours for each resident over the entire three years of training. The Family Practice Center functions much as any family practice group facility. Approximately 18,000 patients are registered with us, and we see over 34,000 patient visits each year. Each resident becomes involved in their preventive medicine, their health monitoring, acute and chronic problem management, and their rehabilitation.

Sparrow/MSU Family Medicine Residency ProgramGeorge F. Smith, MD, Director Sparrow is an exciting, innovative office-based residency program. We provide residents with a setting in which to learn family medicine by actually practicing it. During the first year, there is a "rotating internship" at Sparrow Hospital. Exciting second and third years feature primarily office-based training with on-call care of hospitalized family medicine patients. Call is taken from home in years two and three; call averages only once every sixth to eighth night. There are three office settings — two in Lansing, one in Mason (urban, suburban, rural). Residents have their own panel of patients for whom they are the primary physician for the duration of training. The program is well established and proven, with 133 board certified graduates. It has seven full-time board certified program faculty, as well as community faculty. Sparrow/MSU Family Medicine Residency Program |
