The University of Michigan Medical School was established in 1850. There are just under 700 M.D. students enrolled, with 2,750 faculty physicians. A major difference with many other medical schools is that students are able to start seeing patients during their first semester. Their courses continue through the Medical School’s Foundations of Medical Practice Curriculum for two years. During their third and fourth years, students participate in the Clerkship Education program where they experience hands-on learning through electives and the Clinical Simulation Center. Although they are not required to conduct research projects, students can take advantage of more than 60 training programs and institutes at the university.
Medical school students interested in combined degrees can complete an MBA, Master’s in Public Health, Science in Information, Public Policy, Arts, or Science in Clinical Research through schools like the Ross School of Business or the School of Education. There is also a seven to eight year MD/PhD Medical Scientist Training program. Popular areas of study include pediatrics, internal medicine, family practice and diagnostic radiology.
Students can gain a great deal of experience at the University of Michigan Medical Center and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System. The campus is also well-known for the W.K. Kellogg Eye Center, home of the University of Michigan Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, and the Cancer Center and Geriatrics Center, which houses the Center for Gene Therapy and Center for Organogenesis.
University of Michigan Medical School has made impressive discoveries in the medical community in the past few years, including the creation of three stem cell lines. The medical school also started the country’s first Depression Center. Recent years have also seen the development of the Brehm Center for Type 1 Diabetes Research and Analysis. Students eager to gain hands-on experiences at the very beginning of their medical school career should look into the University of Michigan medical school’s progressive programs.
