As a robust teaching location, Munson partners with Michigan State University’s College of Human Medicine and College of Osteopathic Medicine to expertly train 3rd- and 4th-year medical students in addition to hosting a dually accredited Family Medicine Residency program. Every March, graduating medical students participate in “Match Day,” where they are matched with a residency program.
