Dean’s Scholars Program Alumni

The Dean’s Scholars Program at MSU College of Human Medicine aims to recognize and support outstanding medical students dedicated to advancing health equity. As a community-based medical school, our students are uniquely positioned to engage with the multitude of patient populations in Michigan and learn to deliver care that will improve the health of all. These scholars are our future healthcare leaders who excel in patient care, research, and community service. By fostering leadership, a commitment to health justice, and a passion for public service, we aim to shape exemplary physicians who will transform healthcare and improve access for all.
