Wayne State faculty and student doctors oppose DMC-run residency

Wayne State University presented its plan for accreditation of five residency programs jointly operated with the Dearborn-based Oakwood Healthcare System, while the Detroit Medical Center CEO Mike Duggan met with numerous doctors - including WSU School of Medicine department heads - to enlist support for independent DMC programs and residencies. Medical school faculty and students are opposed to Duggan's efforts to sever ties with WSU and set up the DMC's own residency program. The two entities have been locked in a contract dispute worth about $80 million. The contract ends Dec. 31.
