Family Medicine Education
Family Medicine Transforms Primary Care
At the heart of patient-centered care, our team is dedicated to educating the next generation of compassionate, skilled and versatile physicians.
Training Leaders in Family Medicine
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.
As you move forward in your journey through family medicine at the University of Michigan, I want to remind you that your humanity is your greatest strength. You are human first. You are connected to your peers, your mentors, your patients, and your communities through heart and through meaningful relationships.
As we enter a new era of family medicine together, I hold this truth close and encourage you to do the same. This is a challenging time in health care—but also one filled with incredible potential for you to make a lasting impact.
