As one of the most powerful academic medical research engines in the country, the University of Michigan Medical School empowers our scientists and clinicians to work together to transform the biggest challenges in biomedicine into breakthroughs in patient care.
Research is the Reason
Groundbreaking discoveries that happen daily at the University of Michigan Medical School are made possible by our unique system of collaboration and innovation. We bring together expert researchers, clinicians and clinician-scientists across disciplines and provide them the tools, training and funding they need to make connections that are crucial to medical breakthroughs.
Research & Innovation
Patient needs are constantly evolving, impacting the future of health care. Now more than ever, it's vital to empower diverse approaches to science and medicine. Through the U-M Medical School's interconnected research areas, we bring together experts from an array of fields to collaborate, innovate and make discoveries that transform patient lives.
Join Us in Shaping the Future of Medicine
This year, we celebrate 175 years of shaping medical and scientific leaders, advancing discovery and innovation, and caring for the people of Michigan and beyond. Discover more about our history.

Well-Being at Michigan Medicine
This special installment of Well-Being at Michigan Medicine coincides with celebrating Health Workforce Well-Being Day on March 18, 2025. As such, this episode brings together Chief Well-Being Officer Elizabeth Harry, M.D., and Jeffrey Patterson, M.H.S.A., M.P.H., the senior director for well-being operations and strategy.
The duo discusses the evolution of the Office of Well-Being from its past iteration and how it brings a broader focus on creating environments where individuals and teams thrive, emphasizing well-being and addressing upstream factors that lead to burnout.
Additionally, Dr. Harry and Patterson chat about key tenants of their work: operational well-being, culture of well-being and personal resilience. Recently, the team has grown, and new members have brought greater expertise to the organization.
Learn more about how the Office of Well-Being aids it team members and brings a culture of belonging, resilience and support.

This course will identify the Single IRB model for Multi-Site research, show the regulatory requirements of sIRB review and the exceptions to sIRB requirements, and explain sIRB requests of IRBMED as sIRB (accepting oversight), External IRB as sIRB (ceding oversight), and UofM as the Coordinating Center.
This course will review what research is subject to FDA oversight, highlight the differences between OHRP and FDA regulations, learn the responsibilities of sponsors, investigators, and the IRB when conducting and reviewing research involving drugs and devices, and examine the requirements for conducting research with a drug or biologic/medical device.
This course will review the Not Regulated, Secondary Use, and Umbrella application types in eResearch and when these application types are applicable.
This course will examine the additional regulatory requirements for conducting research involving pregnant women, fetuses, neonates, children, and prisoners, including the requirements for these populations in a research project and obtaining informed consent.
