Office of Physician Scientist Education & Training

Connecting the Physician Scientist Community

Physician scientists play a crucial role in creating the future of health care through dedication to research and translation of discoveries to the clinical environment. The University of Michigan Medical School is committed to supporting physician scientists at all stages of their career through the Office of Physician Scientist Education and Training (OPSET). With approximately 100 Medical Scientist Training Program fellows and a wide range of postdoctoral and faculty physician scientists working across 20 clinical departments at Michigan Medicine, the opportunities to engage within this robust research community are extensive. Our office provides programming and support throughout undergraduate (UM-SMART and UM-INSPIRE), graduate (MSTP) and postdoctoral education (Postdoctoral Physician Scientist Training).
