Students see their first patients within a semester of starting medical school at the University of Michigan—Ann Arbor. The hands-on academic experience continues through the Medical School’s Foundations of Medical Practice Curriculum, which lasts two years. The Clerkship Education program, for third and fourth year students, incorporates more clinical experiences and electives. The school has a Clinical Simulation Center for hands-on learning.


Through dual degree programs, students can also complete an M.B.A. or a Master’s in Public Health, Science in Information, Public Policy, Arts, or Science in Clinical Research through other highly ranked professional schools at Michigan, including the Ross School of Business and School of Education. There is also a joint M.D./Ph.D. Medical Scientist Training Program, which takes seven to eight years to complete.
Students are not required to complete research projects, but those who are interested have more than 60 centers, institutes, and training programs to get involved in. There are more than 20 student organizations to check out, too.

Degree Offering
Michigan Medical School, founded in 1850, offers professional medical education for a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree. Additionally, the medical school offers MD/PhD, MD/MPH, and MD/MBA dual degree programs.

Medical School Size
There are 692 students currently enrolled at Michigan Medical School, which is roughly 24% more than the average for all Medical Schools. 171 new students matriculated in the most recent first-year medical school class.
Admissions
Students admitted to Michigan Medical School typically have an undergraduate GPA between 3.58 and 3.99 and have a median MCAT score of 36 out of 45 possible points.

All 1,650 physicians who are part of the U-M Medical School Faculty Group Practice hold faculty positions. Patients at many hospitals and clinics in southeastern Michigan also receive U-M physicians' care through affiliations with other health institutions, including the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.

A total of 683 medical students, 1,010 interns and residents, 503 graduate students and 482 postdoctoral research fellows are currently in training at the Medical School, and more than 15,000 practicing physicians and health professionals receive continuing medical education through U-M courses each year. In addition to the M.D. program and post-M.D. residency and fellowship Graduate Medical Education programs, the U-M Medical School offers master's degree, Ph.D. and post-Ph.D. training in the basic sciences through the Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS) and the Horace H. Rackham School of Graduate Studies.

The VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System is affiliated with the U-M Medical School. All physicians who practice at VA hospital and clinics have U-M faculty appointments. Medical students receive training at the VA as part of their internal medicine rotation, but can also receive training there in other specialties as part of other rotations and elective rotations.

We were the first medical school in the United States to recognize the importance of, and to build, a university hospital for physician instruction. We also were a pioneer in the introduction of the modern science-based curriculum, and were among the first schools to change the role of the student from passive observer to active participant in the learning process through high-caliber laboratory instruction and clerkships.

We also enjoy a unique place in the annals of education as one of the very first major medical schools to admit female students and minorities.  In 164 years of service to students, these firsts, and many more, have galvanized our reputation as one of the nation’s premier public research-oriented medical schools.

The Medical School was the University's first professional school, and since graduating its first class of six students in 1851 — a group which paid a mere $5 for two years of medical education — we have become a leader in preparing the physicians and scientists of the future.
