Leadership in Medicine for the Underserved/Vulnerable (LMUV) is a program at the College of Human Medicine’s Saginaw campus. It has a dedicated focus on the clinical and leadership skills and knowledge necessary to serve medically underserved and vulnerable populations in urban, rural, and international settings. This focus is built into the core curriculum experience for the required clerkships, especially in family practice, obstetrics/gynecology, and pediatric clerkships, and can include international health experiences. All elements of this curriculum, including the international experience, are built around the efforts of the Synergy Medical Education Alliance.
The medical students selected for this program will receive program support and didactic education specific to rural, urban, and international health. Housing and food will be covered for LMUV students when out of country, but students are responsible for the cost of their travel, an estimated $1,000 for the third year and $1,000 for the fourth year. Travel costs can be included in their financial aid package.
| Please note that all students accepted into the LMUV program are required to speak Spanish at an intermediate conversational level (minimum) by the time they reach Block III (third year) of medical school. |
