Corewell Health Lakeland Program
About This Program
We are a small community-based hospital located in Southwest Michigan with a high faculty to resident ration. This allows for us to individualize the resident learning experience to best fit their academic and professional goals. We have built our program around the ability to have a work life balance to ensure that residents are well prepared for any avenue possible from internal medicine. The comradery of our program lends to lifelong friendship with co-resident and attendings alike.
