Medical Students
Welcome!
Medicine is a dynamic and diverse field best served by individuals with a breadth of experience. Our department is dedicated to guiding medical students to develop the skills, knowledge, and expertise they’ll need to take the next step in their career.
Henry Ford Providence Southfield and Novi Hospitals offers core clerkships with four Universities: Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, Wayne State University School of Medicine and American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine.
We proudly offer clerkship experiences within an optimized clinical learning environment based upon each University’s institutional requirements.
The goal for each clerkship is to expose students to a wide range of clinical activities associated with each discipline.
Students master core competencies unique to each specified clerkship. Inpatient and outpatient experiences are hosted within a number of clinics around the Southeastern Michigan area.
Regardless of the clerkship specialty or site, students will take part in supervised, supported hands-on clinical experiences with access to didactic lectures and library services. As a student here, we expect that you will find a supportive and friendly learning environment that will help you move forward on your educational journey.
