The University of Michigan Medical School      

The mission of the U-M Medical School is to educate students, physicians, and biomedical scholars and to provide a spectrum of comprehensive knowledge, research, patient care and service of the highest quality to the people of the State of Michigan and beyond.  

The Medical School has been recognized nationally as a premiere site for state-of-the-art research activities, innovative medical education and pioneering clinical care since its inception in 1848. The first professional school at the University of Michigan, the Medical School, admitted its first class of 91 students in 1850 and has awarded almost 18,000 M.D. degrees in the past 150 years as well as educating thousands of residents and biomedical researchers.

The Medical School has 25 academic departments — 19 clinical and 6 basic science — as well as the Unit for Laboratory Animal Medicine and Department of Medical Education. Teaching, research and clinical care often cross traditional departmental boundaries, particularly in the School’s impressive community of interdisciplinary research centers and institutes. The proximity and close relationship between the University Hospitals and the Medical School has fostered opportunities for collaboration between clinicians and basic scientists for more than 100 years.

The Medical School has consistently maintained national prominence in the teaching, service and research missions central to its success. The School has been a leader in the translation of discoveries made in the laboratory into improvements in patient care. Examples of such "bench to bedside" achievements at Michigan include pioneering research in testing the polio vaccine to recent discoveries including novel uses of imaging techniques in the detection and treatment of diseases; advances in tissue engineering through the creation of artificial tissue, organs and bone; and the innovative treatment of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma through the use of radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies.

In 1999, the Medical School celebrated its Sesquicentennial anniversary by honoring the distinguished tradition of scholarship and service at the University of Michigan. The Sesquicentennial Celebration brought alumni and friends back to the Medical School to help celebrate the influential impact that it has had on its faculty and graduates over the past 150 years.
