Pizza for Premeds!

Join UMHS Admissions (Michigan-based, Corie Thayer) and some of our local Michigan grads (in Royal Oak) to enjoy delicious pizza, hear about their medical school journey, and learn about a unique option for yourself as a fellow Michigander!

The University of Medicine and Health Sciences – another option for Michiganders who would like to complete all their clinical rotations in MICHIGAN!

Michigan is very special to UMHS, as we offer all clinical rotations here! We maintain a 96% retention rate for our program. Our 2024 Match was a 92%. Welcome to UMHS – we are challenging everything you thought you knew about Caribbean allopathic programs.

Location:

Bamboo in Royal Oak (right downtown)
220 S Main St, Royal Oak, MI 48067

Topics of discussion include:

• Why consider a Caribbean school?
• A day in the life of a med student.
• USMLE and residency resources and support.
• UMHS MD Program overview (with a focus on our campus student support resources and coveted Portland, Maine semester)

• This information seminar is free and so is parking! Corie Thayer will reach out upon your registration to share parking directions AND directions for entering Bamboo!
• Application fee waived: For those interested in applying to UMHS, your application fee will be waived for attending this event.

We look forward to being a part of your journey to M.D. and meeting you in person!

Travels throughout the Midwest region to meet with students exploring their options for medical school. From premed presentations to grad fairs to individual student meetings (in-person and on Zoom) – I am here for it all!

Building relationships and connecting with people is something I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed and it is what makes my position with UMHS so rewarding. I am always here to lend an ear; to guide and advise in any way I can. Getting into medical school can be a stressful journey. My passion is supporting you!

I love spending time outdoors. I also love reading and enjoying a strong cup of coffee (I am an early riser with 3 dogs to walk each morning!). In my free time, I soak up every moment I can with my son and husband!

The hallmarks of a UMHS education are personalized attention, a rigorous curriculum, and unparalleled support from credentialed and caring faculty in small classes. Thanks to the institution's robust test preparation program and vast connections to top teaching hospitals, UMHS students excel on licensing exams and regularly obtain premier residency placements.
