Through in-depth training for all our learners, the U-M Medical School Department of Family Medicine prepares family physicians to provide comprehensive care across the lifespan, serve diverse communities, shape the future of care through research and lead in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape. Our programs emphasize continuity of care, community engagement and lifelong learning.

We foster a robust culture of research that advances primary care knowledge, health equity, and evidence-based practice. Our learners and faculty engage in innovative, community-focused research that informs policy, improves outcomes and strengthens the foundations of family medicine.

Our department is home to an exceptional group of faculty—dedicated educators, clinicians, and scholars—who are deeply committed to the principles of family medicine and to mentoring the next generation of family physicians. Their passion for teaching and service creates a supportive, dynamic learning environment where future leaders in family medicine thrive.
