Medical alliance to be discontinued

March 22, 2011

Following an anonymous $100 million gift Western Michigan University announced it received Tuesday to start a medical school, MSU will lose a medical student training partnership it currently has with Kalamazoo hospitals, according to The Grand Rapids Press.

The partnership MSU has with Bronson Methodist Hospital and Borgess Medical Center has been in place for 40 years and allows MSU medical students and residents to train in its facilities. The collaboration most likely will end in about two years, when the Western Michigan University medical school begins admitting students.

According to the article, about 30 MSU medical students and more residents train in the two hospitals annually.
