Urban clinical excellence in the heart of Detroit

Through hands-on clinical education in the heart of a rapidly evolving city, the Wayne State University School of Medicine provides a distinct experiential advantage that sets you apart from your peers at other colleges. When you become a Warrior M.D., you'll work alongside leading clinicians who will take you out of the classroom and straight to the operating rooms, bedsides, and communities where your work will make a difference.

Warrior Ambassador

Reid Gordon

“Growing up in the metropolitan Detroit area, many of the excellent physicians who inspired me to go into medicine were Wayne State University School of Medicine graduates, and I couldn't shake how special it would feel to follow in their footsteps as a Warrior M.D. Additionally, the quality of care I received from these physicians was unmatched, so I knew that Wayne would be a place where I would set a strong foundation to my future medical career. I only became more confident of this and attracted to the school when I realized how hands-on the curriculum is, from clinical skills to cadaver dissection. As a highly visual and kinesthetic learner, I knew that opportunities like these would best support my learning style and set me up for success in any specialty. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, I felt an inexplicable magnetism toward the city of Detroit. The spirit of Detroit is defined by a stark passion and love for the community within which we live, and it is undeniably infectious and enthralling. This spirit has made working and learning within Detroit an exceptionally rewarding and, at times, humbling experience for which I will forever be appreciative.”
