The new name, which takes effect today, also reflects recent organizational changes, including the appointment of a single leader for both the U-M Medical School and Medical Affairs for the University of Michigan. Marschall S. Runge, M.D., serves in the combined role.
“Becoming Michigan Medicine is more than a name change. This new name reflects a growing trend among world-class academic medical centers to showcase the integration of their missions: medical education, health care research and patient care,” said Runge, dean of the University of Michigan Medical School, executive vice president for medical affairs and CEO of Michigan Medicine.
