Internal Medicine Residency Program

Training the Next Generation of Internists

Engage in first-class patient care, research and education as you take the next step in your career journey.

Message From Our Director

Our program is committed to your development as an internist, independent of whether you are heading toward a career in primary care or desire to continue your education with subspecialty training.

The Department of Internal Medicine has had a long tradition of excellence in the tripartite mission of academia including education, patient care, and research. Our faculty members are among the best in the nation and represent a wide array of expertise extending from physician scientists involved in state-of-the-art biomedical investigation to master clinicians who are world-renowned for their clinical expertise. Michigan Medicine is ranked among the top hospitals in the country. The institution attracts diverse patients from across the state and nation.

Residents will not only engage in first-class patient care within the University Hospital, a tertiary care center, but will also spend time in the local Veterans Affairs Hospital which complements the clinical experience tremendously. To further enhance the ambulatory experience of our trainees, the Department of Internal Medicine has successfully developed a series of primary care sites throughout Ann Arbor and the adjoining communities.

As a program, we are deeply committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment that fosters resident wellness in their professional and personal lives. We also remain firmly devoted to combating health inequities in the communities we serve.

If you have any questions about our program or community, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Equal Medicine

Equal Medicine was created in an effort to develop a forum for our residents to discuss and learn about issues of gender disparities in medicine and for residents to gain the skills to address gender bias when they encounter it in clinical settings. 

It also includes curricular programming to support our women residents to develop the skills needed to advance and thrive in academic medicine, seeks to facilitate mentoring relationships, and to celebrate each other’s successes.
