Hurley has major affiliations with the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and the University of Michigan Health System, both at the graduate and undergraduate levels of training. Hurley Medical Center is part of the Flint Campus of the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. About 100 third- and fourth-year medical students are assigned to the Flint Campus annually. Our internal medicine, pediatric, combined internal medicine/pediatric, obstetrics and gynecology, and transitional year residency training programs, as well as the geriatric medicine and trauma fellowships, are affiliated with the Michigan State University College of Human Medicine. The emergency medicine residency, emergency medicine pediatric fellowship and pediatric dentistry residency are affiliated with the University of Michigan.

In addition to meeting eligibility criteria and providing certain documentation, pre-employment requirements include illicit drug screening and background checks, as well as program-specific clinical certifications (e.g., BLS, ACLS, PALS, NRP, etc.), obtaining a Michigan medical license, and meeting visa requirements (when applicable). See the Eligibility and Selection Criteria FAQ for more details.

Yes. Hurley Medical Center meets the criteria for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. This new program offers forgiveness for remaining debt after a physician has completed ten years of eligible employment and qualifying loan payments. [During those 10 years, an Income-Based Repayment (IBR) plan can help keep your loan payments affordable.] For more information on the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program visit https://studentaid.gov/manage-loans/forgiveness-cancellation/public-service.

Most Hurley programs accept J-1 visas. Hurley's Transitional Year program does not accept applicants requiring visas.

With one exception, applications to all of our residency training programs must be sent through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). ERAS is the service that transmits residency applications, letters of recommendations, transcripts and other supporting documents for candidates. The ERAS website is www.aamc.org/eras. Each residency training program utilizes the National Resident Matching Program to rank candidates who meet criteria for appointment to specific residency training programs at Hurley. The NRMP Web Site is www.nrmp.org.

The exception is our Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Program, which uses the Residency Centralized Application Services (ResidencyCAS) site at https://residencycas.liaisoncas.com/applicant/

ObGyn candidates must ask their medical school for an individual access link to ResidencyCAS in order to apply.
