Welcome and Overview

Words of Welcome from Diana Witowski: Associate CFO and a Program Founder

Welcome to the Finance Development Program!

Michigan Medicine is a premier Academic Medical Center with a tripartite mission of patient care, research, and higher education. As a leading organization within our industry, we are able to provide an abundance of strong career opportunities and the Finance Development Program (FDP) is consistently praised as one of the strongest entry level experiences at the University of Michigan. 

The FDP was created in 2013 and launched in 2014 with the primary objective to create early career opportunities that position young talent to be our future financial leaders. 

After a great deal of research, we modeled our program off of the most desirable rotational programs across the nation. Additionally, there was a great deal of personal reflection that fueled the final program design by deeply questioning the experiences that I wish I would have had in my first position out of college. Not surprisingly, it was the same wish list that many of my classmates wanted but were also not getting in their first jobs. I was determined to change that with this program!

As a result, we offer robust work experiences, challenging assignments, exposure to senior leaders, mentoring, competency development, a strong support system, and a community of young professionals that extends beyond the work day.

But there are two characteristics that truly set us apart from other strong rotational programs:

If this sounds like what you are looking for to jump start your career and be part of a high-performing team, I strongly encourage you to apply or reach out to us to learn more. It won’t take long for you to find out our program offers a truly unparalleled experience.

GO BLUE!

Team Building

The FDP acknowledges that teamwork and collaborative effort are essential for success.  With that in mind, the FDP focuses on team chemistry and coordinating team building events outside of the office.  Past events have included team kayak races, scavenger hunts, rope and obstacle courses, paint and pour, happy hours, bowling, softball games, escape rooms, and more.
