The Family Medicine Residency Clinic is located in southern Berrien County in Niles, Michigan. It is a five-minute drive from Lakeland Hospital, Niles and a 25-miunte drive to Lakeland Medical Center, St. Joseph. The resident of space encompasses up to ten (10) exam rooms including three (3) procedure rooms, three (3) rooms for osteopathic manipulative treatment, and a resident office/library.

It is at this site that residents will care for their panel of patients. The residency clinic is an environment consistent with the operation and function of an attending physician office. Residents are part of a team of attending faculty and residents, which delivers care in over 18,000 patient contacts per year, over 9,000 of which are resident-only patient experiences. The resident physician is included in all office and clinical management of Lakeland Family Medicine, Niles. We believe this close association of the resident to faculty and staff is a vital part of the overall maturation experience of today’s family medicine resident’s education.

Progressive patient care responsibility in the outpatient setting occurs over the three-year continuum of rotation experience. Clinical experience ranges from newborn care, in-office procedures, wellness promotion, OMT (osteopathic manipulative treatment), chronic disease management, nutrition and weight loss management, and end-of-life care.
