Flint
Established in 1971, the Flint campus is located in the heart of downtown and part of the city’s ongoing revitalization. Approximately 80 third- and fourth-year medical students complete their clerkships at Hurley Medical Center, McLaren Flint and medical providers throughout Genesee County.
Students participate in research and community collaboration to improve the health of diverse populations. They’re compassionate about the evolving health care needs of the Flint community. In addition to street medicine, students volunteer at food banks, mentor youth, organize donations to community resource groups and participate in outreach events.
The Leadership in Community and Public Health program is also based in Flint. It prepares students for serving medically underserved and vulnerable populations in urban, rural and international settings.
