Teaching Tomorrow's Physicians

At Metro Health Hospital, we understand the vital role education plays in our society. To meet the needs of tomorrow's health care specialists, we're committed to helping students receive hands-on learning experiences in a wide array of medical disciplines.

As a result of this dedication, Metro Health Hospital has established itself as a major teaching hospital for Osteopathic physicians. Our affiliation with the Statewide Campus System of Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and our local membership with the Grand Rapids Medical Education and Research Center for Health Professions have strengthened our ability to prepare physicians for the competitive and rapidly evolving health care profession.
