Mary Mercy Hospital in Livonia, MI. The residency’s outpatient clinic, Trinity Health Academic Family Medicine Northwest Livonia (formerly Center for Family Care), is in close proximity to the hospital, making it an easy commute to most rotations. The residency program is geared towards the way most Family Physicians practice today – in the outpatient setting with ability to practice in-patient me
dicine/urgent care or pursue fellowship upon graduation. Our faculty our invested in each resident's education. The faculty physicians are board certified in Family Medicine, staff the in-patient/outpatient service, and additionally two of our faculty are certified in Obstetrics. They are dedicated to providing residents with educational opportunities that will allow them to practice independently and excel in their chosen scope of practice. Our goal is for each resident to achieve their career goals. Each resident has a faculty advisor and with help from our behavioral specialist along with program leadership we help residents achieve their professional goals. We value quality patient care and strive to provide our patients with affordable, high-quality medical care in a comfortable, patient-centered environment. Our residents work with our staff to provide the best team based care for our patients of diverse backgrounds and truly approach each patient with compassionate understanding. With the above in mind, the mission of the St. Mary Mercy Family Medicine Residency Program is to develop physician leaders in family medicine that provide excellent medical care for families and individuals, serve their local community to decrease the disparities in health care, and help advocate for our profession in their communities. We hope to set-up all of our residents for success and help them find fulfillment in the practice of family medicine. Charan Cheema, DO
