Your built-in network starts in med school

Our Michigan Medical School alumni can always be found at the forefront of their chosen fields here, and at medical institutions across the country and around the world. For the past 10 years, our program has had one of the highest percentages of any medical school for graduates who go on to hold faculty positions in their academic careers. They are an active and vital part of the med student experience, providing guidance and support to our next generation of physician leaders:
