The Integrated Medical School & Family Medicine Residency Program (TIP)
The Integrated Medical School and Family Medicine Residency (TIP) Program is for fourth year medical students at the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (CHM) who:
- Currently are in their third year of medical school and are interested in a career in family medicine
- Are looking for additional training and experience in leadership, scholarship or community outreach/public health
- Have an already established strong commitment and interest in doing residency in one of the sponsoring CHM Family Medicine Residency programs. For the 2013-2014 academic year, the participating residencies are: Grand Rapids, Midland, Lansing and the Upper Peninsula.
- Are looking for an experience that will ease the transition for them and their families to residency and will allow them to participate in residency experiences as fourth year students
- Would benefit from a $20,000 commitment by the residencies to them.
The CHM Integrated Medical School and Family Medicine Residency Program is a transitional fourth year medical school experience that continues into residency. It offers several benefits for both medical students and the residency program. Many medical students know they want to enter Family Medicine, know where they would like to be trained and are looking for that additional extra to become leaders in their discipline. Residency programs want the best students with the highest likelihood of staying in their communities. They want to create opportunities in which their residents thrive and lead their discipline forward.
