On-Call Faculty, Family and Community Medicine

The Department of Family and Community Medicine (DFCM) at Western Michigan University Homer Stryker M.D. School of Medicine (WMed) is seeking an enthusiastic faculty member who loves teaching residents, delivering babies, and serving our community through our expanded family medicine specialty services at our new clinic. The DFCM welcomed a new clinic and a new chair in 2022 to support its dynamic faculty with a focus on faculty development and service to the community. We are excited and proud of our department’s street medicine program, OMM clinic, medically managed weight loss clinic, transgender clinic, skin and procedures clinic, sports medicine and palliative care fellowships, and a substance use disorders clinic starting in the fall of 2024, adding to our continuity clinic. Our dually accredited ACGME/AOA 9-9-9 Kalamazoo-based residency is housed in our new 20-room clinic and departmental offices, ideally located to serve our diverse community. The DFCM is expanding and supports individual faculty interests and their skill sets. If you are passionate about teaching and interested in modest housing costs, access to lakes, trails, parks, forests, rivers, music, art fairs, museums, and 4 beautiful seasons, then this could be your new path!
