For 175 years, since our founding as the University of Michigan's medical school in 1848, we have been on a quest to transform the future of health care through leading-edge medical education, groundbreaking discoveries, and extraordinary care.

We have always been driven to explore the unknown and push the limits of the medical frontier. Now, we proudly stand on the shoulders of those who came before us and continue to expand on the legacy they built nearly two centuries ago.
