"As a graduate student research assistant, your job is to test and execute any ideas a professor has for a particular research topic. Whenever you are able to add some insight you are expected to do so. The job is part-time but will cover all tuition costs so it is well worth it."

Pharmacy Technician

"Michigan Medicine is a fantastic place to work, with outstanding insurance and retirement benefits, employee unions, and a great work environment. The only big complaint I have is the medical campus is so large, it is extremely hard to find parking close to the hospital. I did find it hard for vertical growth within my department, but I feel like that comes with the Pharmacy Technician field so Michigan Medicine is not at fault."
