As one of the first neurology departments in the country, we are proud to call the University of Michigan home. We hope you will join us in building our legacy.
Established in 1920, our department has been home to just six department chairs in our history. Many notable alumni have also been a part of our team, including nearly 10 who have gone on to chair leading institutions across the nation - including Massachusetts General Hospital and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Today, we support 80 full-time faculty, including 14 endowed professorships. Annually we experience more than 1,500 inpatient admissions, 4,500 inpatient consults and 50,000 outpatient visits.
We regularly receive some of the highest rankings across the nation in clinical care, education and research. In 2020, we ranked ninth in National Institute of Health Funding to United States Medical Schools by the Blue Ridge Institute for Medical Research, and 15th in the nation for care by U.S. News and World Report.
We have a robust network of collaborations across the university. Current collaborations include those with the departments of Internal Medicine, Engineering, the School of Public Health, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry. We also work closely with the nearby VA Hospital of Ann Arbor.
Many of our faculty also find that the people they work alongside truly make their professional experience.
When asked why he chose to work at Michigan, Dr. Doug Gelb shared, "During residency, I realized that I wanted to focus on teaching and patient care. Michigan promised to support such a career, and they have followed through on that commitment. It’s also nice to work in a department with so many people who are talented but low-key about it, and to live in a city where there’s so much to do, but it still feels so open."
Michigan offers many great resources to support faculty. Some include the Fast Forward Medical Innovation Program which helps researchers navigate things such as patents and commercialization, and the Office of Faculty Affairs and Faculty Development which connects faculty with guidance, resources and workshops across a variety of career tracks.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is a strong priority for our department and the university at large. Opportunities to engage with DEI work both personally and professionally is continually available, and a contribution toward this work is evaluated in promotions.
The university offers a very supportive benefit package. You can find more information about this through U-M Human Resources. The Our Community section on the website is also a great resource to continue learning about working with U-M Medical School.
As one of the most consistently ranked college towns for its active arts, culture and outdoor recreation, Ann Arbor is a great place to call home.
