Supporting and facilitating global health activities and programs for faculty, trainees and students seeking international learning experiences.


Global REACH supports experiences and training to help our UMMS students, colleagues and partners engage in global health across all stages of their career.

Global REACH creates and maintains collaboration agreements with 30-plus partner institutions around the world. Such agreements govern student and scholar exchange, research collaborations and other activities.

Our faculty network boasts more than 200 colleagues from nearly every UMMS department and discipline who are engaged around the world in meaningful collaborations.

Global REACH helps to welcome many dozens of students, scholars, and healthcare leaders visiting Michigan Medicine from abroad each year.

Global REACH seeks to recognize outstanding international engagement among members of the U-M Medical School. Our team is accepting nominations in three categories—faculty, students, residents/fellows—with plans to honor winners during a spring global health forum in April.
Our Spring Forum will bring together members of the UMMS community with a shared interest in global health and international collaborations. Join us to celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and share information about how Global REACH can help students and faculty pursue their global health goals.
