Medical Mile
The headquarters for MSU College of Human Medicine is along the Grand Rapids Medical Mile, a corridor of collaborative health science education, academic biomedical research and general clinical and specialty hospital care. The $90 million, privately funded MSU Secchia Center opened in 2010 featuring a state-of-the-art simulation center where students acquire skills for curricular learning in clinical settings. Near the Secchia Center is the MSU Grand Rapids Innovation Park where the college’s Research Center houses 33 biomedical research teams focused on the discovery of new treatments and therapies for the world’s most challenging health conditions and diseases.
