Clinical site locations

Over the course of five years, residents are exposed to a variety of practice settings, ranging from a large, tertiary care, academic center at the William Beaumont University Hospital, Royal Oak campus, to a community hospital at Beaumont Hospital, Taylor. In total, residents will spend 4.5 years at Beaumont Royal Oak and 6 months at Beaumont Taylor. Although there is no shortage of surgical volume between these two hospitals, residents sometimes elect to travel to Beaumont Troy or the Ambulatory Surgical Center to operate with different attendings and further enhance their surgical experience.
