It was also the first with an associated teaching hospital, founded in 1869, and one of the first to accept female and minority students. The first 90 students graduated from a 2-year program at U-M Medical School in 1852 after paying a total of $5 in tuition.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UMMS has a total student body of 795, with about 170 graduating each year (and adding to the ~20,000 alumni to date). UMMS maintains an impressive faculty to student ratio of 3.7:1. 46 of the 3,879 faculty members are members of the National Academy of Medicine, and 58 faculty members have been elected to the Institute of Medicine.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The size of the teaching hospital associated with U-M Medical School has increased from one 20-bed hospital with no operating rooms in 1869 to an entire medical complex today. Some of the buildings within the Michigan Medical Center are the University Hospital, A. Alfred Taubman Health Care Center, C.S. Motts Children\u2019s Hospital, Frankel Cardiovascular Center, Rogel Cancer Center, and Von Voigtlander Women\u2019s Hospital.<\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">U-M Medical School offers a variety of medical programs. You can choose to get an MD or a joint MD\/PhD in any subject that connects to medicine\u2014that can be something traditional, such as cell biology, or more creative, like history. The schools also offers 14 stand-alone PhD programs, 12 master\u2019s degree programs, postdoc opportunities, and several pre-med and post-bacc programs.<\/span><br \/>\n<a id=\"curriculum\"><\/a><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_sidebar  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >The Curriculum at the University of Michigan Medical School<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">UMMS greatly emphasizes small-group and hands-on learning. On your first day of medical school, you\u2019ll be sorted into one of four houses, each named for one of U-M Medical School\u2019s prominent historical graduates. Within your house you\u2019ll be placed in a group of 10-12 students and two faculty instructors, called a Doctoring group. Doctoring is a course you\u2019ll take with the same classmates and instructors throughout all of medical school, designed to enable small-group learning and give you easy access to faculty. First-year Doctoring will give you a foundation for the rest of your medical studies by teaching you basic clinical skills such as communicating with patients, taking a patient\u2019s medical history, and completing a physical exam.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Your Doctoring course will also provide opportunities for patient exposure. In your first year, you\u2019ll be paired with a volunteer family that you\u2019ll meet with several times, both in their home and when you accompany them to a doctor\u2019s appointment. U-M Medical School also holds periodic medical panels on a variety of topics (substance abuse, disability, breaking bad news, etc.) that feature patients and their experiences.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In addition to your longitudinal Doctoring course, you\u2019ll have opportunities for Interprofessional Education throughout your time as a medical student. As an M1 you\u2019ll participate in the Interprofessional Clinical Experience (ICE), a program designed to introduce students to team-based care. You\u2019ll complete five different clinical experiences at different sites on UMMS\u2019 medical complex where you\u2019ll observe and participate in team-based care.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll have many mentoring opportunities; the faculty in your Doctoring group serve not only as instructors, but also mentors. Additionally, you\u2019ll have access to a House Counselor. In an effort to ease students into the rigors of medical school, some first-year assignments will be more flexible than in other years\u2014quizzes are due every week, but can be taken any time between Friday night and Sunday afternoon.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The curriculum at UMMS is divided into \u201ctrunks\u201d and \u201cbranches.\u201d As an M1, you\u2019ll complete the \u201cScientific Trunk,\u201d in which you\u2019ll learn all the science behind medicine and participate in relevant clinical experiences. In addition to the Doctoring course and ICE experiences, the first year is divided into six blocks: three Foundations of Medicine blocks (Biochemical, cellular and molecular process of the organ systems; Physical diagnostics and therapeutics; and the Immune system and its primary targets) and three Vital Function blocks (Circulation, respiration and filtration; Nutrition, absorption, regulation and reproduction; and Cognition, movement, sensation and behavior). You\u2019ll also take a Chief Concern course, in which you learn how to approach problems like a doctor and diagnose correctly.\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Year 2 is the \u201cClinical Trunk.\u201d It\u2019s made up of preparation for and participation in 7 clerkships, or clinical rotations. You\u2019ll spend 12 weeks in each of the following clerkships:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Internal Medicine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surgery and Applied Sciences (Pathology, Anesthesiology, Anatomy, Radiology)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll spend 6 weeks the following clerkships:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">OB-GYN<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pediatrics<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And 4 weeks in the following clerkships:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Family Medicine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Neurology<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Psychiatry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019ll be prepared to take the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kaptest.com\/usmle\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">USMLE Step 1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> after you complete your Clinical Trunk.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Years 3 and 4 are referred to as the \u201cBranches.\u201d Towards the end of your Clinical Trunk you\u2019ll choose one of the following branches to focus on:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Patients and Populations\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Procedure-based care\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Diagnostics and Therapeutics<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Systems and Hospital-based Care<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019ve chosen your branch, there are three phases: Discovery (introduction to electives), Focus (internships, rotations, and electives), and Finishing (more electives, applying for residency, Capstone for Impact project, and a residency prep course).\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<a id=\"impact\"><\/a><br \/>\n<div  style='padding-bottom:10px; ' class='av-special-heading av-special-heading-h3    avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_heading  el_before_av_heading  '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >How has the University of Michigan Medical School Made an Impact?<\/h3><div class='special-heading-border'><div class='special-heading-inner-border' ><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each student is required to complete an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.umich.edu\/medschool\/education\/md-program\/curriculum\/impact-curriculum\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">impact curriculum<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, culminating in a Capstone for Impact that demonstrates a positive impact on health or medicine.
