Mission Statement:

The mission of Oakwood is to provide excellent healthcare for our patients and the communities we serve.


Program Objective

Oakwood Hospital and Medical Center provides a Summer Externship opportunity, to introduce a real worldview of clinical medicine as well as to expand the clinical perspective of students.

Students will primarily function as observers, although the externship experience should enhance the student's doctor-patient communication ability and physical diagnosis skills. Students will be introduced to how physicians make clinical decisions and be given the opportunity to increase their knowledge base by reading on the patient's who will be seen daily.

Location

We are located in Dearborn, MI, about 1/8 of a mile from the Southfield Freeway (M-39). However, the Family Medicine Externship is located at Annapolis Hospital in Wayne, MI. For further information, please visit our website at
