Fact: Each year approximately 40% of new residents “matched” into Beaumont
residency programs are graduates of Michigan’s four medical or osteopathic
schools: Wayne State University, Michigan State University Colleges of Human
or Osteopathic Medicine, and the University of Michigan.
Fact: Because of Beaumont’s national reputation in several medical fields, top medical
students from Michigan, as well as all around the country, apply to our residency
and fellowship programs. Our programs receive approximately 8,000 total
applications for the 100 or so new residency and fellowship positions that require
filling each year. 80 percent of our applicants are from non-Michigan schools.
Only 1 in 80 applicants “make the cut” and eventually enter Beaumont’s
residencies and fellowships.
Fact: Beaumont residency and fellowship program graduates continue to provide
patient care services to Michigan residents long after their training is completed.
Approximately 65% of Beaumont Hospitals’ current combined medical staff
received their graduate medical education at Beaumont. The majority of
Michigan medical/osteopathic school graduates who train at Beaumont stay in
either metropolitan Detroit or out-state Michigan to practice.
Fact: Every year, 125 students from the medical schools at Wayne State University,
University of Michigan, and Michigan State University are rotating through
required third-year internships or fourth-year elective programs at Beaumont. In
addition, over 100 students from out-of-state medical schools rotate through
Beaumont education programs each year. Fifteen different primary and specialty
care departments offer medical student programs.
Fact: Fourteen Beaumont departments offer educational rotations each year to 130
allopathic and osteopathic residents in programs sponsored by nearly every
teaching hospital in the geographic area inclusive of greater metropolitan Detroit,
Ann Arbor and Flint. As space is available after meeting the educational needs
and requests of its own and other Michigan-based programs, Beaumont typically
provides training to nearly 50 residents each year from multiple residency
programs located throughout the United States.
Fact: Beaumont’s medical departments and its Department of Medical Education
provide 2,600 credit hours of continuing medical education each year to its
medical staff. These educational credits, which are a requirement for physician
medical license renewal each year, are provided in programs ranging from onehour departmental “grand rounds” to multi-day programs targeting Michigan
physicians from throughout the state and region.
Fact: While funding from federal and state sources is provided to hospitals sponsoring
graduate medical education programs, cutbacks in such funding resulted in
Beaumont, Royal Oak absorbing $18.7 million in unreimbursed costs for medical
education in 2006. In addition, Beaumont Hospitals, with residents involved in
all patient care programs, provided $19.7 million worth of care written off as bad
debt and $98.1 million in unreimbursed care to Medicare and Medicaid patients
and charity care in 2006.
