Medicine Programs at Michigan State University

The patient is at the center of the Medicine Programs at Michigan State University. The Shared Discovery Curriculum will nurture, educate, and graduate students who are ready, willing, and able to be exemplary new residents and practicing physicians. As a state-funded institution with a mission to serve the people, MSU’s students obtain their clinical training in communities throughout Michigan.  The College of Human Medicine at MSU also offers certificate programs and dual degree programs.
Students connect their academic coursework with community concerns through immersive service learning opportunities. Throughout medical school, students will reflect on their future roles as physicians and the role they play within the communities they serve. Students have several international health study opportunities throughout the academic year. They often spend breaks between classes in the winter, spring, and summer to travel abroad and experience international health in underserved areas of the world. Through the work of simulated patients, students gain real-world, hands-on experience in a variety of settings and scenarios.
