About Our Programs

Uniquely situated in an advanced, well-organized health care market, The Department of Medicine Education programs have abundant access to clinical training sites. The Fairview-Medical Center has a visionary integrated care delivery system. Our department is enjoying tremendous academic growth and recruitment of numerous outstanding faculty. 

Our programs emphasize choices in curriculum and consider residents and fellows to be adult learners living in a diverse, exciting and supportive educational environment. As former Course Director for Physical Diagnosis and Introduction to Clinical Medicine at the University of Virginia, and as former Vice Chair for Education at Case Western Reserve University, to me the success of University of Minnesota students, residents, and fellows is of the highest priority. With exciting new leadership and curricula built upon a prestigious academic tradition, we now seek the nation's most talented, thoughtful, and forward-looking students for our medical student and residency programs. I look forward to meeting you when you visit the University of Minnesota.
