The Michigan State University College of Human Medicine (CHM) is an academic division of Michigan State University (MSU), and grants the Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. CHM was founded in 1964 as the first community-integrated medical school, and has a program that emphasizes a patient-centered care and a biopsychosocial approach to caring for patients. More than 3,600 M.D.s have graduated from the College.[2] The pre-clinical campus is located on MSU's main campus in East Lansing, Michigan, while the clinical rotations are at seven community campuses located throughout Michigan.

History
Michigan State University appointed Andrew D. Hunt, MD as the first dean of the College of Human Medicine in 1964.[3] The college began training pre-clinical medical students in the fall of 1966, though these students needed to finish the final two years of their medical school education at other schools. The entering class of 1968 completed all four years of education at MSU, and graduated in the spring of 1972.
Clinical training
Clinical practice (undergraduate medical education during the third and fourth years of medical school), graduate medical education, and research takes place across seven campuses located in the Michigan cities of Flint, Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Saginaw, Marquette, and Traverse City. An additional four-year medical training facility in Grand Rapids is scheduled to be phased in to operation between 2008 and 2010 that will run in parallel to the existing program in East Lansing.
