CHANGING MEDICINE, INSPIRING A BRIGHTER FUTURE 2022 SCHOLARSHIP UPDATE
To advance and improve medicine, it takes a determined team working together — people with diverse abilities and experiences driving new concepts and supporting one another. At the University of Michigan Medical School, we strive to build the strongest teams possible by seeking outstand ing students who have unique backgrounds, exciting ideas, and a passion for serving others.
Scholarship donors like you are essential members of our team too. Your generosity enables the brightest and best learners — regardless of their financial situations or circumstances — to attend the U-M Medical School. Some of these learners come from underrepresented populations, others are first-generation college students, and many earned degrees in non-sci entific fields during their undergraduate studies.
Once here, they bring with them the undeniable talent and dedication that will change medicine. They pursue promising research, volunteer in the community, provide care to the underserved, and help to enhance medical education.
Your contributions give students the opportunity to pursue their dreams and focus on becoming the best caregivers they can be. Thank you for your partnership and encouragement as you make it possible for gifted learners to take the next step in their medical journeys. Your gifts are helping to change their lives and build a brighter future in health care.
Sincerely, Deborah R. Berman (M.D. 1999, Residency 2003, Fellowship 2010) Interim Assistant Dean for Admissions
