The CMU Residency Experience

CMU Medical Education Partners (CMU Partners) is part of Central Michigan University College of Medicine (CMED). The College of Medicine was established in 2009 to prepare physicians focused on improving access to high-quality health care in Michigan, with an emphasis on rural and medically underserviced regions. The college received preliminary accreditation through the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME) in 2012, and will start its first class of medical students in summer 2013.
Located at 1000 Houghton Ave., in Saginaw, Michigan, CMU Partners provides administrative offices for all the teaching programs. Combined with Generations Family Care (a division of CMU Healthcare), we record over 40,000 patient visits annually and maintain a medical library which acts as the health sciences library for the region.

CMU Partners was developed as a separate corporation by CMU College of Medicine in partnership with Covenant Healthcare and St. Mary’s of Michigan. CMU Partners manages five residency programs located at Covenant and St. Mary’s, accredited through the ACGME.

They include:

	Emergency Medicine		General Surgery
	Family Medicine		Obstetrics and Gynecology
	Internal Medicine

In addition, CMU Partners also provides educational experience to residents and students in several unique areas including: Pediatrics, Psychiatry, Simulation, and Rheumatology Services.
