MSU Clinical CenterMSU Clinical Center
As the College's first clinical facility, the MSU Clinical Center is the principal practice site for faculty and resident ambulatory primary care and outpatient consulting services. The facility is designed solely for the delivery of ambulatory care and offers a variety of health services including resident outpatient clinics, general medicine faculty clinics, subspecialty clinics, onsite physical therapy, and laboratory and radiological services including magnetic resonance imaging. The Clinical Center houses an onsite pharmacy, nurse practitioner offices, conference rooms, a computer-learning lab, and wireless Internet access throughout the facility.

At the Clinical Center, residents train with state-of-the-art electronic medical record technology. Residents become proficient in direct electronic charting and data retrieval. Electronic flow sheets, problem lists, and medication lists organize patient management and facilitate office communications. Electronic prescription renewals and drug-drug interaction assessments improve safety and efficiency of care. Physicians can trend and plot data in both tabular and graphic formats, facilitating both decision-making and patient education. Wireless technology using easily portable computers makes the entire process convenient for bedside interactions. In addition, the system is accessible to approved users over a secure Internet connection, allowing access to ambulatory records from other training sites.
