About the School
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.
Curriculum
In 1990 the University of Michigan Medical School began a process of review that culminated two years later with the adoption of a completely new curriculum for the M.D. degree, MD21. The MD21 curriculum incorporates instruction in small groups, student-centered exercises, multi-disciplinary conferences, early introduction to patients, and increased experiences in ambulatory and primary care. Of particular note is the development of significant opportunities to participate in community-based learning preceptorships as part of the curriculum.
Facilities
Together, the Medical School and the three University Hospitals constitute the Medical Center campus located on 84 acres of land in more than 30 buildings. The Medical School occupies more than 2 million gross square feet of research and education space.\n

Why no Tier Rankings?
Although we could tier rank, over the past 25 years we've found no compelling benefit for ranking schools. Students are most successful when they prioritize personal and academic fit over school rank.
