Community Campuses
The State of Michigan is Our Campus
As a community-based medical school, the College of Human Medicine is uniquely positioned to provide students with comprehensive training in clinical settings that most closely parallel the environment in which many physicians typically practice.
First and second-year students begin the college’s Shared Discovery Curriculum in either Grand Rapids or at the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing, where they apply knowledge of the sciences in their Early and Middle Clinical Experiences to their work in any of more than 90 clinics.
Third and fourth-year students in the Late Clinical Experience engage in disciplinary clerkships at any of nine primary teaching hospitals and 57 community hospitals throughout Michigan in eight community campuses.

Flint Campus
Community Assistant Dean: Jennifer Edwards-Johnson, DO
Approximately 100 students in their Late Clinical Experience complete their third and fourth years of medical school through clerkships in Flint-area hospitals. Students are heavily involved in the community through service projects, volunteering and advocating for important health issues.
Located in downtown Flint, the campus includes research and learning spaces, four student study rooms, six clinical skills examination rooms and offices for Charles Stewart Mott Department of Public Health.
Two certificate programs are also based in Flint. The Leadership in Medicine for the Underserved program prepares students for serving medically underserved and vulnerable populations in urban, rural and international settings. The Medical Partners in Public Health program offers students a population-based lens to their clinical training, in order to better understand how to improve the health and well-being of their patients and their communities.
