How do I arrange to do a story at UMHS or to interview a U-M doctor or patient?
The UMHS Media Team provides assistance to news reporters, photographers and video crews who wish to arrange phone interviews or in-person sessions with UMHS physicians, scientists, staff and patients. We find that our assistance, whether in arranging a simple phone conversation or an elaborate video shoot, makes the interaction go much more smoothly for all involved. Our assistance and presence is REQUIRED for any visits by members of the media to all UMHS facilities, including Medical School laboratory buildings. Patients who will be interviewed on video or photographed within a UMHS facility must sign a release form, available from our department. Please call us at 734-764-2220 or e-mail UMHSmedia@med.umich.edu to arrange interviews, visits or patient interactions.
