Our Training Programs:
"I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to train at a program that perfectly balances excellence in patient care, teaching, research, and innovation. In the time that I have been here, I have felt a real sense of family among the faculty and residents, from my co-interns to the highest ranks within the department. For these reasons, I know that the University of Michigan is an institution that will always push me to be the best physician that I can be."
