Health Management and Policy Alumni

As a member of our alumni family, you are vitally important to the quality of our Health Management and Policy (HMP) programs and to the success of HMP's graduates. Alumni regularly visit the department, serve as guest lecturers or adjunct instructors on timely topics, and collaborate with faculty on research projects. They often serve as summer internship preceptors, conduct mock interviews with our job seekers, and turn to HMP when recruiting permanent professional employees.

HMP is now turning to you to ask for your help in recruiting a modest number of high quality students into its various degree programs. With your help, we will be able to find students who reflect the excellence and professionalism of HMP and all of its alumni.

Beyond recruiting new students, there are many other ways to contribute to our continuing success. As a graduate of HMP, you can give back to HMP when and how you choose. Maybe you would like to serve on a committee, lead a special recruitment event, or become a mentor to current students. With several programs and commitment levels available, we'll find the right opportunity for you.

Interested in Supporting an HMP Capstone Project?

We are always eager to work with alumni to source project proposals for our HMP Capstone experience. During the HMP Capstone, students work consulting teams to help address key health services and health policy challenges at partner organizations. For more information, please visit our page.

Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us. Also, we would like to receive updates regarding any moves, accomplishments and events in your professional life. Please contact us at HMP.Alumni.Updates@umich.edu.
