Education is of the highest priority in the Department of Family Medicine, from our predoctoral and residency programs, to faculty development and continuing medical education.
Our residency program is among the top programs in the nation today.
As the Department has grown the number of fellowships has increased to include Academic, Geriatrics, Integrative Medicine, MD-MPH, Sports Medicine, and Women's Health.
Our predoctoral program provides academic and clinical experiences across the four years of medical school, mentoring, elective courses, clinical preceptorships, and involvement in research.
Faculty development and continuing medical education, are supported and promoted for all faculty members.

Residency Program Expansion - In response to the anticipated increase in demand for primary care physicians, the Department of Family Medicine expanded their residency program for the first time in more than a decade. The Department received a $960,000 federal grant to add one additional resident to the program each year starting in July 2011. “Over the total funding period, there will be five more University of Michigan-trained primary care physicians produced because of this grant,” says James M. Cooke, M.D., assistant professor and residency director. Find out more in the UMHS Newsroom.
