Officials worked for months to create a continuing partnership after concerns that the university�s budget constraints would not allow the program to move forward next year. Leaders from MSU, Synergy Medical and the Saginaw community joined in an official announcement of the new agreement today at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel. �Our ongoing partnership with Synergy will enhance the quality and value of health care to the Saginaw community, continue to make affordable health care accessible to residents and will advance the overall quality of life in the Saginaw Valley.� �The new curriculum builds on the strengths of existing programs in Saginaw for international medicine and rural health,� said MSU Provost Lou Anna K. The medical student program, scheduled to begin in July 2004, will feature a new curriculum, �Leadership in Medicine for the Underserved.� In addition to meeting rigorous requirements for physician training, the curriculum centers on serving patients in rural and international settings. The new agreement will allow MSU�s College of Human Medicine to provide its third- and fourth-year students the opportunity to train in a health care system focused on improving the health and well-being of patients who have limited access to medical services. � A new partnership agreement between Michigan State University and the Synergy Medical Education Alliance has resulted in the continuation of MSU�s medical student program for third- and fourth-year students next year in Saginaw.
