According to the State News (the MSU newspaper) MSUCOM is thnking of adding a branch campus in the Detroit area which would house 50 students. The campus may be established by 2007

I've heard up to 90 students in Detroit.judgehopkins said:I don't think that there would be any economic benefit of only having 50 students on the detroit campus. I don't think that it could pay for itself in terms of revenue.
If they had maybe 75 or 100 I could see them starting up a building. there is just too much in the way of infrastructure involved in a complete building to only have 50 students. think about the number of cadavers that they would have to possess in order to accomodate 50 students and then toss in an OMM lab. I don't think that they would be able to justify the expense for such a small class size.

The hospital affiliations are growing rapidly in Detroit. Evidently the President/CEO of the Detroit Medical Center (Receiving, Children's, and Henry Ford) is very interested in taking our students. Also, the St. Joseph's in Ann Arbor has been recently added to our affiliate listings.
The satellite campus, by rumor, is partially due to a private school wanting to set up an Osteopathic college in the area, but since we've got firm holdings in Michigan and especially that area through Henry Ford and Pontiac Osteopathic, we'll expand and keep the state. MSU is a school to watch in terms of medical education, we're expanding...all the colleges are...it's a good time to be a doctor in many ways.

MSUCOM students rotate at Henry Ford, Botsford, St.John's Oakland, Garden City, POH, and Mt.Clemens in the Detroit Area.oldjeeps said:FYI Henry Ford Hospital is not part of the DMC. HFH is one of the (essentially) four big health systems in the Detroit area (others are Beaumont, St. John's, and DMC).
Also, aren't there already some MSUCOM students in the Detroit area for MS3 and MS4 clerkships?
Sorry about that, I keep getting things confused. You can definitely tell that I'm from out of state.oldjeeps said:FYI Henry Ford Hospital is not part of the DMC. HFH is one of the (essentially) four big health systems in the Detroit area (others are Beaumont, St. John's, and DMC).

you are not familiar with Michigan, sorry).
Just out of curiousity, did she mention anything specific about how it would be run? Are students just going to go to the Troy campus for OMT and anatomy and listen online to lectures or are they planning to have live lectures in Troy as well?cfdavid said:during my interview kathy schaefer said that the satelite would be in Troy.
