Letters of invitation for interviews will be sent via e-mail once your application is received and reviewed. Interviews are held on Tuesdays and Fridays beginning mid-November and continue to mid-January. Interviews are not scheduled between Christmas and New Year's Day. Transportation to Ann Arbor, Michigan is the responsibility of each applicant; however, we will be glad to provide housing for our out-of-town applicants. Staff and residents are available to assist with the logistics of the interview.
Our approach to the match is a bit unique among Family Medicine residencies. We feel that the match allows residents the opportunity to select not only their program, but also their continuity clinic. Currently we offer eight first year positions and applicants may choose to rank the Chelsea and/or Ypsilanti continuity site. By listing each training opportunity as a separate match number, applicants have the opportunity to rank the training that best fits their goals.
We offer a unique month-long elective experience for medical students from other schools to work with us and experience Family Medicine at the U of M. Students work alongside our residents on our Family Medicine Obstetrics Service and our Family Medicine Inpatient services at the U of M Hospital and the Chelsea Community Hospital. These experiences give visiting students the broadest experience possible to learn our approach to delivering high-quality care to our patients and innovative education to our residents and students.
We also offer one to two positions for residents completing their first year of residency at other programs who would like to transfer to complete the final two years of their Family Medicine training with us here at the U of M. Due to the abundant opportunities for spouses within the institution and in Ann Arbor, we have found that offering these positions benefits the institution and the program.
Wages for incoming first-year residents in 2008:
First Year — $45,889
Second Year — $48,484
Third Year — $51,083
Holiday pay, on-call meal allowance, travel reimbursement, and an annual investment bonus are also provided. Health insurance, disability insurance, malpractice coverage and discounted dental, as well as a host of other benefits are negotiated by the House Officers Association.
If you have questions about any of the experiences that the program offers, feel free to contact us.
