Field Trips

One of the highlights for students in the SEP each summer are the weekly field trips that we make as a group on Friday afternoons to visit health organizations in the area. On these visits, students not only learn about the role of these organizations in the health system, but also meet with senior level administrators and policy-makers at the organization.

Among the organizations we have visited in recent years are:

  • Community Health and Social Services (CHASS) Center
  • The Detroit and Genesee County (Flint) Health Departments
  • Mercy Ambulatory Care Center
  • The African-American Health Awareness Center (Flint, MI)
  • St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Oakland County, Michigan
  • The Detroit Medical Center
  • St. John Hospital
  • The University of Michigan Health and Hospital System
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan
  • The Wellness Center
  • Health Alliance Plan
  • Hospice of Michigan
  • Law-Den Nursing Home
  • Trinity Health System -- Financial Operations
  • Ford Motor Company Department of Health Management

Quotes from a past participants
"The SEP program helped me gain interest in health management & policy and helped steer me into pursuing a career in this field.

I was always interested in the societal aspect of health, but I didn't know what I could do with that interest until now."
