Detroit Wayne County Health Authority (Authority Health) GME Consortium Program

Program Description

This residency program is uniquely positioned to provide the full range of primary care training in a variety of practice settings, emphasizing urban and rural communities that are medically underserved. Ambulatory care and comprehensive family medical services are stressed, and significant time will be spent at Authority Health’s Popoff Family Health Center, Detroit-area Federally Qualified Health Centers, community clinics and private practice offices interacting with patients, their families and medical staff. The inpatient components of training take place at affiliated hospitals in the Detroit area, and each resident is afforded the opportunity to further extend his/her skills and knowledge to all areas of primary care through elective rotations. The primary goal of this program is to prepare board-certified family physicians who practice the full scope of patient-centered, evidence-based primary health care, to help meet the growing demand for primary care providers in Michigan.
