Professional Development
From hosting international symposia to offering CEUs, CME programs, the Health Leadership Innovation Academy and other professional learning opportunities, Henry Ford + MSU delivers cutting-edge insights that empower learners to expand knowledge, advance careers and drive innovation in health care and research.
RYSE MED Program
We are committed to supporting the Readying Youth Scientists for Excellence in Medicine, Health Equity and Discovery (RYSE MED) mentorship program. This initiative empowers students facing structural barriers to pursue careers in health care and research. Serving as a student mentor offers a meaningful way to support future scientists while gaining valuable experience and participating in enriching program activities.
Henry Ford + MSU Scholarship
We’re proud to support the next generation of Detroit leaders. Whether a high school student is passionate about health sciences, education, business or another field, the Henry Ford + MSU scholarship can help students reach their goals.
Real-world undergraduate experiences
Connections across MSU’s 17 degree-granting colleges are being made with Henry Ford Health experts through hands-on, practical experiences. Henry Ford Health sponsors a broad range of undergraduate student projects, such as:
- MSU Civil and Environmental Engineering students engaging with the design and construction teams to better understand the Henry Ford + MSU Research Center. This included a site visit soon after construction of the foundation was initiated.
- MSU Engineering students exploring the use of robotics to transport pathological specimens in the medical laboratory.
- MSU Biosystems Engineering students assessing potential sites for an organic waste digester system to serve the main hospital and the broader Henry Ford Health system.
