“After doing undergrad out of state, I was excited to return back to Michigan and have the opportunity to give back to a great and deserving city of Detroit that gave me so many wonderful experiences growing up. In addition to being an influential research university, WSUSOM offers the opportunity for hands-on involvement at numerous free clinics, early and plentiful clinical rotations, and connections to every major health system in Detroit, being the only MD program in the city. Detroit also has a vibrant and continuously growing cultural and entertainment scene to explore. ”
