Sparrow Hospital (Sparrow Main), our sponsoring institution, is a 733 bed, Level 1 Trauma Center and Michigan first certified Comprehensive Stroke Center. Our residents attain robust experiences in acute care on the medical floors, as well as in the critical care setting.

Research
Research Participation during residency is a vital component to professional development. The resident faculty members have many ongoing projects encompassing basic science, clinical, and surgical educational areas. Research participation allows the resident to gain knowledge and experience of searching and critiquing the literature, usage of statistics, abstract and manuscript writing, and presenting their findings at local, regional, and national conferences. During this process, one will become educated in the ethics of scientific research and the role the IRB plays. Residents are mentored along beginning as a junior resident with increasing participation as they progress through their training. National presentations are funded through the program, and additionally, the residents have a CME allowance. A dedicated year to research is not required; however, a resident is required to complete two research projects in order to graduate from the program.
