In their first year, the programs attracted 33 residents.

The system started the programs in part because the physician shortage nationwide and in Michigan. “The bottleneck was happening at residency training, which can only occur at hospitals,” Pam Royston, administrative director of graduate medical education at Allegiance Health, told MLive.
