Yes. Hurley Medical Center is in the process of building a new emergency room to accommodate nearly 80,000 patient visits annually. The new Emergency Department (ED) and Trauma Center will be named the Paul F. Reinhart Emergency Trauma Center, after the late Paul F. Reinhart, who devoted his career to advocating for Michigan Medicaid patients and hospitals like Hurley. The new rooms and department will boast significant improvements, including a nearly 50% increase in size over existing rooms, creation of all-private rooms supporting adult and pediatric patients, improved adjacencies and operability, decreased noise levels, and integration of new technologies. The new Emergency Department will take over the entire main floor of the east wing (currently the long corridor off the parking garage), then extend out another 25,000 square feet toward Fifth Avenue for a total of 50,000 square feet. Hurley has committed over $30 million dollars to support this project.

Hurley is also transitioning to a paperless electronic medical record system by implementing Epic. Epic will go live within the next few years. When Epic is implemented, there will be no paper charts in use. Instead, all patient information will be immediately available, as soon as it is entered, from any computer in the hospital and from remote locations through secure internet connections. This allows every provider with a patient relationship to access the complete record from wherever the provider may be at any given moment.

Though not required for interview purposes, H-1B visa candidates must have taken and successfully passed USMLE Step 3 by the time a residency training program NRMP Rank Order List is submitted.

No pre-match positions are offered in our residency training programs.

You will receive an e-mail from the program you are interested in. We attempt to be as flexible as possible with interview dates, so in most cases you will be given options for interview days that will be available for interviews. Once you select a date, please contact the program office coordinator either by e-mail or telephone to confirm your time and to receive other information and instructions as it relates to your visit to Hurley.

At Hurley, you will be in an urban setting and a culturally diverse environment, exposed to a unique patient base, and working in a safety-net hospital with a commitment to academic and clinical excellence. Hurley is a public institution that provides access to care for all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Being part of Hurley will give you opportunities to make a direct, positive difference in a patient’s or family’s life.

We are fully compliant with the new ACGME duty-hour rules. With a combination of night float systems and long and short call shifts, as well as physician extenders (nurse practitioners and physician assistants), we have implemented a system that complies with the new rules and preserves continuity of care.
