Our Program

Volume

Henry Ford Warren Hospital is home to two different campuses, with a combined volume of 110,000 yearly. The main campus is located in the heart of Warren, the third largest city in Michigan. We are an unopposed, resident-run ED in the Warren area and proud to be one of the busiest EDs in the Detroit area. Starting from day one, you are expected to be seeing and managing patients on your own. By training in our program, residents become competent and confident physicians who can manage a large volume of high acuity patients.

Acuity

Metro Detroit is home to many diverse cultural backgrounds and people of different socioeconomic statuses. Because we treat mostly underserved patient populations, we see very unique pathology and severe disease processes. Henry Ford Warren has a higher admission rate in the metro Detroit area. By the end of their first year, our interns are confident in their procedural skills and have completed most of their ACGME procedural skills requirement. On their first day, interns will observe and assist senior-led codes and traumas.

Education

We are fully ACGME-accredited. We prioritize exposing our residents to the ED as much as possible and providing a robust clinical experience.

We offer outside rotations at state of the art institutions for advanced skills training. For example, our residents have the opportunity to perform trauma rotations at either the renowned R. Adams Crowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore, or Detroit Medical Center Sinai-Grace Hospital, which sees one of the highest rates of penetrating trauma in the country We also have a dedicated pediatric anesthesia month. We offer elective months where residents are free to explore their own personal interests.

Our didactics are resident-run and consist of lectures as well as small group discussions. We place a strong emphasis on Foundations, a program in which residents collaborate in small groups with attendings to review oral, board-style cases. Our EM residency program offers a simulation lab curriculum for residents to gain more hands-on experience. We are also part of the MSU GME Alliance (MSU GMEA), a consortium of 16 emergency medicine programs with dedicated speakers and didactics, monthly.

As you apply, we sincerely wish you the best of luck and encourage you to come see us in action. We look forward to meeting you, and we hope you match into a family as close knit as ours!
