How Will You Make Your Mark?

Interesting people create boundless options for everyone.

One of the hallmarks of the Michigan Medical School experience is that you can pursue any number of passions while you are here, and your voice will be valued by your peers, faculty, staff and leadership.

Ambassadors have many opportunities to be involved in the UMMS Admissions process and are essential to making our interview experience a success. In addition, they give their insights and perspective on what Admissions should highlight to pre-meds, applicants and interviewees about their school. There are leadership opportunities available, such as being the Social Media Coordinator for the interview cycle or being an Interview Day Ambassador (IDA) for one of our Get to Know Blue days. Finally, and most importantly, Admissions Ambassadors share their Michigan Medical School experience with prospective students both during interview experiences and at our Second Look at Michigan (SL@M) events in the spring.

Building health care teams of the future starts with interprofessional education now. As a medical student, you will learn alongside students from the other seven University of Michigan health professional schools in a variety of encounters:

Part of the Student Council leadership, M-Home representatives are selected for a four-year term where they serve as a voice for their medical student class. Students work with other representatives, faculty and deans to increase the impact on medical students' sense of community, belonging, well-being and professional development.  

Responsibilities include:  

  • Planning and implementing new programming and events 

  • Evaluating grant applications impacting M-Home 

  • Assisting in the coordination of M-Home Olympics and other events 

The University of Michigan Medical School Student Council comprises several leadership positions across all four years, all of which serve to represent the student voice to medical school faculty and administration. Positions include: Class Advocates, Curriculum Representatives, Tech Representatives, Wellness & Mental Health Representatives and Honor Council. 

You do not have to give up what you love when you come to Michigan. Our campus hosts 100+ medical student groups, many of them founded by students.

Ranging from socially and academically focused, to service and identity oriented, these groups round out the medical student experience. You can choose to participate in as many as you would like!
