U-M Medical School Profiles & Demographics

Achieving Balance

Each year, we work with deliberate intention to create a balanced class, with every cohort making unique contributions to our collective mission and leadership legacy.

Our Students

The University of Michigan Medical School is part of a vast, collaborative community that supports learners at all levels with experts who love to share and help grow the next generation of leaders. That explains why some of the most common words to describe the Michigan experience are warm, friendly and collegial. For us that goes both ways.

Welcoming new students into our medical school community each summer is a tradition we cherish. Achieving a balanced class as a whole arises out of deliberate focus and intention, with every cohort developing its own characteristics and experiences while making unique contributions to our collective mission and leadership legacy.

Below is a snapshot of key demographics on our entire medical student body, along with the most recent incoming class profile data.
