As a community-focused medical school, we believe in exposing our students to real world medicine and diverse populations that match the public health challenges faced by all physicians in the medical profession.
Our innovative Shared Discovery Curriculum reflects this philosophy and vision. The College of Human Medicine is the nation's pioneer in community-based medical education. Blending the strengths of community-based medicine with the power of scientific discovery that comes with being part of a Big Ten research university, the college is uniquely positioned to provide students with comprehensive training in clinical settings that most closely parallel the environment in which many physicians practice.
