Our Michigan Promise to You
We're dedicated to helping our residents and faculty reach their full potential.
At the U-M Medical School Department of Surgery, we recognize that our success is due to the talent, commitment and vision of faculty and residents. We pledge that we will support each individual to achieve their full professional and academic potential. The Michigan Promise ensures that faculty and residents within our department, and our community as a whole, realize our goals as the leaders and best.
The Michigan Promise is designed to accelerate achievement and ensure that our environment allows all individuals to achieve excellence and professional satisfaction. Because our faculty and residents play a central role in executing the mission of the Department of Surgery, these efforts are integrated as a core value of equal importance to other core departmental values.
I would like people to say that the Michigan Promise has had a positive impact on surgery, through our science, through developing new ways to care for patients, but also through improving culture and leadership in surgery and changing perspectives on what it means to be a surgical leader.
Meet some of our surgeons—and your potential collaborators and mentors—and find out what makes them tick.
Here at U-M Medical School Department of Surgery as part of the Michigan Promise, our goal is to create an environment where every individual thrives. Our passion drives everything we do, and we nurture that passion in others. Collaboration excites us, and our unique perspectives and diverse backgrounds make our work stronger.
Contribute to the Department of Surgery's pursuit of excellence in academic surgery. Your support helps faculty and trainees participate in leadership, outreach and achievement initiatives.
