Western Michigan University
History
Formerly known as Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies (Michigan State)
The medical school is a collaboration involving Western Michigan University and Kalamazoo's two teaching hospitals, Borgess Health and Bronson Healthcare. It is among only a few U.S. medical schools in several decades to be built from the ground up, but it is built on the strengths of extraordinary partners. Western Michigan University ranks among the 50 largest colleges and universities, and among the top 100 national public doctoral universities in the U.S. Our two hospital partners are recognized nationally for innovation and quality, and have provided undergraduate and graduate medical education, including through Michigan State University Kalamazoo Center for Medical Studies - now WMed - for more than 40 years.
