Unmatched Environment No other metropolitan area in the U.S. can claim as many opportunities for medical learning as southeastern Michigan. Rarer still is the spirit of camaraderie and sharing you'll find among area education programs. Rather than compete for residents, we know that what is good for society is good for us, and that means making sure that you become the best physician you can be.

Our membership in the Wayne State University-OHEP Consortium makes PHMC part of the largest medical education alliance in the midwest. Together, WSU-OHEP hospitals provide more than 48 percent of all graduate medical education in Michigan.

In 1999, PHMC joined St. John Providence Health System (SJHS) as a member of Ascension Health, the largest Catholic health ministry in the nation formed by the merging of the Daughters of Charity and Sisters of St. Joseph health ministries. Now, as a member of SJHS, PHMC is able to offer additional learning opportunities to residents. And for our osteopathic applicants, it is important to note that SJHS stands as one of the largest osteopathic medical education networks in the country. Of its nine hospitals, five are teaching facilities and three are osteopathic hospitals.
