Sparrow Hospital (Michigan State)
As one of the oldest emergency medicine residencies in the country, the Sparrow/MSU EM Residency-Lansing, conducted within the Sparrow Health System and McLaren-Greater Lansing, has a long and vibrant history of excellence.
More than 35 years ago, Dr. John Wiegenstein began the arduous process of establishing the specialty of Emergency Medicine within the medical profession. Dr. Wiegenstein was the first president of the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and worked for decades at McLaren Hospital. He served as faculty in the residency until his retirement, and was a man of great vision.
