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.

Our new blog features reflections from University of Michigan medical students and visiting trainees as they learn, grow and collaborate across borders.
Global REACH is pleased to announced increased baseline funding amount for most UMMS student grants. We have also recently introduced a new funding mechanism specifically geared toward M1 and M2 students seeking an international educational experience.
