Training compassionate, innovative health care professionals

With many undergraduate and graduate programs to choose from, outstanding expert faculty, state-of-the-art labs, research opportunities and the University of Michigan tradition of excellence, UM-Flint CHS students are both challenged and supported.

Expanding Horizons in Health Education

CHS offers a diverse range of programs designed to prepare students for impactful careers in healthcare. Among the recent additions are four new undergraduate programs: Exercise Science, Health Informatics and Information Management (online), and innovative accelerated pathways in Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy. These accelerated pathways allow students to earn a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences in three years instead of four, enabling them to apply to a doctorate in Physical Therapy or Occupational Therapy a year sooner, saving both time and money.

Additionally, CHS is now home to the Social Work Department and the Bachelor of Social Work program. The Flint campus proudly hosts four of the University of Michigan’s renowned graduate programs: Master of Science in Physician Assistant, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy Doctorate, and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia.

CHS is dedicated to training students for exceptional patient care through unique bachelor’s degree programs like Radiation Therapy and an online completion program in Respiratory Therapy for those with an associate degree in the field. For students interested in behind-the-scenes roles, CHS offers programs in Health Care Administration, Health Informatics and Information Management, and Public Health.

Students have the opportunity to engage in dynamic, real-world learning experiences, including clinical internships with various partners and participation in Health Equity, Action, Research, and Teaching, a student-run pro bono clinic serving the local community.

For those looking to make a difference and embark on a meaningful career, CHS has a program tailored to your aspirations.

CHS has HEART

The CHS is committed to serving the community, addressing health inequities and preparing students to do the same. One way we do that is through HEART, our student- and faculty-run collaborative pro bono health clinic. Learn more about HEART, which provides health care services for the uninsured and underinsured in Genesee County and meaningful learning experiences for students.
