Michigan State University College of Human Medicine UP Region

The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine Upper Peninsula Region is one of seven clinical campuses throughout the state where MSU-CHM students experience their clinical education. The program is located in Marquette, Michigan and is a partnership between Michigan State and UP Health System – Marquette, A Duke LifePoint Hospital. As a community-based medical school, MSU College of Human Medicine is uniquely positioned to provide students with comprehensive training in clinical settings that most closely parallel the environment in which many physicians typically practice.

Upon completion of their preclinical years (Blocks I and II) at either the MSU campus in East Lansing or in Grand Rapids, up to 12 Rural Physician Program students head to the Upper Peninsula to experience their clinical education (Block III). ​

In addition to training medical students, the program is also closely affiliated with the Marquette Family Medicine Residency Program. The Residency Program is a three-year unopposed program for young physicians pursuing the specialty of family medicine. The program accepts 6 applicants each year.
