Ascension Genesys Hospital

Attendings/Residents/Students (lifestyle, criticism, aura): attendings were pleasant! Dr. Macsuga was impressive and a great leader and teacher! I was the only extern for the month and felt extremely comfortable with all the attendings and residents! Jessica Hoffstatter and Hussein Bazzi were super helpful, kind, and professional!

Didactics: didn’t have a journal club during the time I was there but they typically do one each month as well as case study/presentations each week! I was expected to do one over a topic of choice at the end of rotations

OR Experience: OR experience was mostly the second or third scrubbed in! It was a great learning experience and I was able to get some hands on experience

Clinic Experience: not much clinic experience which was okay for me! Since I was the only extern I think they just got me in the cool cases

Research Opportunities: none! Which was good by me

City Life: the city life is very simplistic and minimal it’s in a small city outside of flint and Detroit which was okay for me

Favorite Part: the residents and the interrelationships between the team! Also the ascension genesys athletic club was nice

Constructive Criticism: relationship with ortho

I thought the directors and current residents were knowledgeable. I would recommend this to people that do not mind the area and just want a good residency experience

It was a great experience I felt as though I was a bit unprepared for all the surgical expectations. A bit too small of a city for me!

I thought this program was very hands on! It had a cool cadaver lab although I wish we had more time it was still pleasant. They do expect a lot from you but I loved that! 10/10
