History

The Detroit Medical Center is one the largest academic medical centers in the United States, with a long and rich history of medical education, providing training in medical education for more than 100 years. As the nation shifted to more rigorous oversight of physician training, the DMC continued to be a leader in accredited programs in medical education beginning with the Ophthalmology Residency Program’s accreditation in 1951, Pathology in 1953, Internal Medicine in 1953, Neurology in 1958. The DMC now trains the majority of practicing physicians in the State of Michigan including 70 percent of the state’s trauma surgeons and 60 percent of its emergency physicians.
