The HOST Program, coordinated by MCAS, the University of Michigan Medical Center Alumni Society, connects M4 students, residents, and fellows with alumni volunteers during the various interview processes. The HOST Program also offers an opportunity to connect U-M scholars who have completed their training in Ann Arbor with members of their new medical community.
Alumni volunteers provide scholars with a place to stay during the interview process, as well as offering advice based on personal experience about the community and possibly the perspective medical center in which they are interviewing. In return, scholars may offer insight and updates regarding the University’s Medical School and Health System. The HOST Program connects alumni and scholars nationwide, providing networking opportunities that will strengthen the bond of the Medicine at Michigan family.
We would like to invite you to participate in the HOST program, either as an alumnus/a or as a current U-M medical scholar. Please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions page for answers to any concerns you may have. You may also contact HOST Program Manager Mary Morency, at (734) 998-7584 or e-mail her at marymore@umich.edu.

“I’d like to convey my thanks for setting up hosting arrangements in San Diego. My hosts were truly wonderful and incredibly warm, and I so enjoyed meeting them. It was better than any five-star hotel accommodation … and the HOST registration process was smooth and worked out wonderfully. Having a program like this is one of the best perks of being a U-M medical student. Thanks again, and all the best for 2008!”

“Thanks again for setting me up on short notice. I’ve participated in the HOST program twice now, and both times have been great. I recently told some applicants from other medical schools about how great our HOST program is, and several of them said they planned to encourage their alumni associations to begin similar programs. Again, thank you very much.”

“My husband and I just returned from Seattle, and we had a FANTASTIC time with our hosts, who are both U-M alumni. They were gracious and accommodating, their home was beautiful, and we got to see an entirely different part of the city by staying with them. We definitely enjoyed our stay, and had wonderful conversations (including updating them about recent developments at the U-M Health System). I highly recommend the HOST program.”
