Radiology Professional Development
At the U-M Medical School Department of Radiology, there are several different internal training pathways for gaining sub-specialty training while completing your residency.
Leadership Development
While at U-M Medical School, residents have the luxury of being at a world class university and its associated graduate programs. This gives our trainees unique opportunities to pursue and develop additional areas of interest, particularly in research, business, innovation and education.
CoMET (A Community of Medical Educators)
A trainee-designed, trainee-led, GME-sponsored initiative which started in 2016. Twice monthly 90-minute sessions will focus on both the development of practical teaching skills with structured opportunities for practice and feedback, as well as the opportunity to design and implement a medical education-focused scholarly project. Sessions will be facilitated by some of the health system’s most gifted educators.

Health Equity & Quality Scholars Program
The Health and Quality Scholars Program (HEQSP) is a 10-month certificate program designed to support Michigan Medicine house officers in becoming thoughtful, action-driven physicians who are equipped to improve care for all patient populations. Through interactive seminars and a mentored quality improvement (QI) project, participants learn how to deliver compassionate, personalized care while addressing barriers that impact patient outcomes.
This longitudinal program integrates cultural understanding, communication strategies, and systems-based approaches to help clinicians strengthen trust, navigate complex care needs, and work more effectively with patients from all backgrounds. Core topics include social factors that affect health, patient-provider trust, and inclusive care approaches for mental health, substance use, disabilities, language access, and other related issues.
Most sessions are virtual and held in the evening, with three in-person events including an orientation, a mid-point gathering, and a closing celebration. House officers are expected to attend at least 80% of sessions and spend 2–5 hours monthly preparing for or advancing their QI projects.
This program aligns with Michigan Medicine’s commitment to delivering high-quality care through a lens of empathy, continuous improvement, and responsiveness to patient needs.
Healthcare Administration Scholars Program
The Healthcare Administration Scholars Program is a voluntary education program designed for residents interested in pursuing healthcare administration as part of their medical career. The goal of the program is to prepare residents for leadership opportunities in healthcare administration. The 20-month program involves selected readings, didactic small group seminars, panel discussions and an individual project related to an issue within healthcare administration.
