Welcome to Family Medicine at McLaren Bay Region, a semi-rural community hospital nestled in the heart of the Great Lakes Bay Region, offering a picturesque setting along Lake Huron and the Saginaw Bay. The Tri-Cities – Bay City, Midland, and Saginaw – provide an exceptional environment for both work and living, featuring excellent schools, affordable living costs, and a rich array of community and cultural events. Conveniently situated for easy access to Southeastern and Northern Michigan, our program is affiliated with the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine and participates in the Statewide Campus System (SCS). As an Osteopathic Postdoctoral Training Institution (OPTI), our program provides comprehensive resources, including hands-on workshops, seminars, and collaboration across multiple residency programs.
Our residents are equipped to handle the full spectrum of Family Medicine, from providing care for a medically complex population with socioeconomic barriers to specialized outpatient procedures. With a robust inpatient service and opportunities for obstetrical care, gynecologic procedures, wound care, and endoscopy training, residents receive a well-rounded experience. Upon completion, our graduates are well-prepared for diverse practice settings, bolstered by a curriculum that includes the science and business of medicine, customizable residency schedules, and robust curriculums in Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and Lifestyle Medicine. We also emphasize community service and leadership development, providing opportunities for involvement in health screenings, advocacy events, and mentorship of medical and pharmacy students. In our intimate learning environment, residents work closely with engaged clinical teaching faculty, building lifelong connections and receiving individualized mentorship and support. We are excited to welcome you to the McLaren Bay Region Family Medicine family!
