Dr. Jamie Longhurst
Board certification confers a standard of excellence in knowledge and practice to physicians who not only certify via the examination, but who also work diligently on the maintenance of these skills during the seven-year cycle between examinations. To achieve certification by the ABFM, a family physician must verify the completion of 300 hours of acceptable continuing education over the past six years; possess a full and unrestricted license to practice medicine in the United States; and successfully complete a one-day, written examination of cognitive knowledge and problem-solving abilities. This examination covers the disciplines of the specialty including, but not limited to: adult medicine; care of newborns, infants, children and adolescents; maternity and gynecological care; community medicine; care of the older patient; human behavior and mental health; and care of the surgical patient.
Dr. Longhurst completed her residency and internship at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. She earned her medical degree at the Michigan State University – College of Osteopathic Medicine, and earned her undergraduate degree at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
