University of Michigan Medical School
Internationally renowned for patient care, research and education, the University of Michigan Medical School has been a leader in American medicine for more than a century and a half, producing generations of outstanding physicians and medical scientists. It was the first medical school in the United States to own and operate its own hospital—a tradition of close integration with clinical care that continues today as the Medical School forms an integral part of the university’s Health System. The U-M Health System also includes three nationally ranked hospitals, 40 outpatient health centers, and a number of specialized programs for treatment and research in cancer, cardiovascular disease, geriatrics, depression, diabetes, vision, women’s health, organ transplant and other specialties. The Medical School’s research community is one of the nation’s largest, winning more than $342.5 million in funding, and generating more than 120 newly disclosed inventions each year.
