about healthteam
MSU HealthTeam is the multi-specialty medical practice comprised of teaching faculty from MSU’s College of Human Medicine, College of Osteopathic Medicine, and College of Nursing. We are continuing to grow, offering primary and specialty health care services to the general public. MSU HealthTeam is comprised of approximately 200 physicians and nurse practitioners from 14 clinical departments, as well as many allied health professionals such as nurses, psychologists, social workers, therapists and nutritionists. MSU HealthTeam providers are also actively involved in teaching and clinical research, keeping them on the forefront of the latest medical advances.
Our providers practice at clinic locations throughout the greater Lansing area. The largest clinical practice is the MSU Clinical Center, which is located on the MSU campus. This site offers multiple primary and specialty services, as well as a pharmacy, laboratory and radiology services. Our practices are open to the general public.
One of the missions of MSU HealthTeam is to provide health care education to graduate physicians in residency training, as well as to medical and nursing students. Under the guidance of staff physicians and nurses, these students often participate in patient care programs.
The
College of Human Medicine was established in 1964 to meet the need for a medical school committed to producing primary care physicians, to serve the health care needs of people in Michigan. It has clinical campuses in six Michigan Communities. This structure provides a rich and varied learning environment for physicians, while enhancing the quality and availability of health resources in each community.
The
College of Nursing began community-based nursing in 1924 with a joint degree program with Lansing's Sparrow Hospital. The first four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing class graduated in 1954. Primary care graduate education for nurses in Michigan was pioneered at MSU with the creation of the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program in 1977. Today, MSU is still the benchmark for primary care nursing education in the State and has served as a national model.
The
College of Osteopathic Medicine, created by an act of the Michigan legislature in 1969, was the first state assisted and university-based osteopathic college. The mission of the College is to educate excellent primary medicine physicians to meet the needs of patients in the 21st century. Of the more than 2,000 graduates, more than three fifths are currently training or practicing in primary care. The College is committed to the osteopathic philosophy, community-integrated primary medicine, innovation in education and service to the under served.
MSU HealthTeam looks forward to providing you with compassionate and quality health care.
