On May 13, 2016, 166 future health care leaders entered the University of Michigan’s historic Hill Auditorium as students, and left as physicians.
In a few short weeks, they will embark on residencies to prepare them for their chosen area of medical practice. More than a quarter will stay in the state of Michigan for this next phase of their training — including 18 percent who matched to residency slots at the U-M Health System after being selected from among thousands of applicants. Nearly 1,200 doctors-in-training in 105 residency and fellowship programs currently train at U-M’s hospitals and clinics.
