Global REACH: MOU Agreements
Global REACH is responsible for creating and maintaining formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreements UMMS has in place with various partner institutions around the world. Currently, UMMS enjoys standing MOU agreements with more than a dozen international institutions. Such agreements formalize and clarify collaborations by specifying concrete objectives for the partnership such as allowing for the exchange of medical students and faculty, establishing dual-degree programs, or facilitating and financing joint research projects between the partner institutions.
Below are all active agreements in place between Michigan Medicine and partner institutions through Global REACH. Note that not all agreements incorporate medical student exchange. Partner schools for medical student exchange can be found here.
