Our Faculty

At the University of Michigan Medical School, we are proud to have over 30 Med-Peds trained faculty. As hospitalists, primary care physicians, and subspecialists, they are integral in the care of our patients and training of our residents.

Our robust network of Med-Peds faculty are eager to mentor and guide our trainees. We take a very personal approach with all of our residents. From the time you interview, join our program, graduate and beyond, we aim to understand your needs and help you meet your professional and personal goals.

As an intern, you will start by being paired with a primary continuity clinic preceptor and meeting with the Program Director and an assigned Assistant Program Director on a regular basis. From there, we link you with other faculty and peers for further career, profession and life advising and mentoring to meet your specific needs.

Our attrition rate is one of the lowest in the country, and can be attributed to the mentoring and role modeling of our Med-Peds faculty, extensive involvement of our Program Directors in your education, and strong support from the Departments of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
