About the Admissions Process

We embrace those who work hard to make the world a better place with their whole altruistic and authentic selves. Everything you need to know about our process for selecting the next entering class is right here, starting with our commitment to create an opportunity for you to thrive to your fullest. Our program is designed to launch your impact in medicine and patient care while you train with us.

At the University of Michigan, our dedication to academic excellence is inseparable from our commitment to advocating for patients and helping advance health care. Each individual’s experiences, perspectives, identities and journey fold into our collective learning, enhancing the diverse educational environment.  

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds who personify excellence and feel called to service in the name of moving medicine forward. Our holistic review reflects a broad definition of those underrepresented in medicine such as those with disabilities, those who are economically disadvantaged, part of the LGBTQIA+ community, served in the military or the first generation in their family to go to college, to name a few.

Once you apply, our transparent approach to admissions means you’ll always know where you are in the process. Along the way, we'll do our best to answer your questions so you can make an informed decision, too.
