Medicine
Â鶹´«Ã½ Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine is a collaboration involving Â鶹´«Ã½ and Kalamazoo's two world-class teaching health systems, Ascension Borgess and Bronson Healthcare.
The school, which welcomed its inaugural class in August 2014, is a private 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation supported by private gifts, clinical revenue, research activity, tuition from Â鶹´«Ã½s and endowment income.
The home of the new medical school includes the WMU Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine Clinics, a modern 60,000 square foot clinical building on the Oakland Drive Campus, and a 350,000 square foot educational building in downtown Kalamazoo that was donated by MPI Research.
Located on the new W.E. Upjohn M.D. Campus, the educational building underwent a $68 million renovation and expansion project and opened in June 2014.
The medical school has a preferred institution relationship with WMU, seeking top WMU undergraduates each class; offers an early decision option for WMU undergraduates; and graduate dual degree programs.
