Welcome!
There
is an old saying that goes, “Put your money where your mouth
is.” And just like a lot of old adages, this one rings true. I thought
of it this morning as I prepared for a typical day in the Medical School’s
Diversity & Career Development Office.
On any given day, we may be hosting a number of prospective house officers from all around the country as they tour the Health System and meet with faculty. We will answer phone calls and emails from prospective medical students who are wondering if Michigan would be right for them. And some evenings, at Ypsilanti High School, our Health Occupations Partners in Education Program (HOPE) mentors will be looking over the homework of many sixth through twelfth graders who are being introduced to the possibility of an education in medicine.
And all of this is business as usual. But none of it would be possible without the University of Michigan Medical School’s support.
So you might say, our Medical School is old . . . and wise. We have put our money where our mouth is. We have made an investment in our future which is you. We hope to see you here!
