Dustin Rowland, M.D.

My background is in computer science and education. Psychiatry is an excellent field for anyone who wants to be at the cutting edge of practical new developments in these areas; our contributions have the potential to significantly improve the lives of anyone suffering from psychiatric maladies. At the University of Michigan, residents have access to high-level teaching and computational resources, as well as an enormous and diverse patient population. In addition, the opportunity to be part of the House Officers Association (resident union) ensures fair contracts and makes interdisciplinary collaboration more accessible. The culture fostered by these aspects of the University makes both learning and research much more enjoyable and rewarding than it would otherwise be.
