Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine & Garden City Hospital

Our #HospitalPartnerSpotlight series continues with longtime partner Garden City Hospital. This teaching facility offers medical education to #SpartanDO trainees in a wide range of specialties and shares our college’s commitment to community and to extraordinary patient care. Susan Patterson, clerkship program coordinator at Garden City Hospital, explains more about our symbiotic partnership: “Teaching and learning medicine requires observation and practice, and practice through repetition is essential in the medical training of our future doctors. This is very present in our dedicated faculty who are passionate about the learning process and committed to medical education. They are excellent role models to the students and on many occasions, have become lifetime mentors.” We are #DOproud to partner with Garden City Hospital in shaping the physicians of the future.
