About Our School

Welcome to our Duluth Medical Campus.
 
University of Minnesota Medical School–Duluth Campus educates students who plan to practice family medicine in rural Minnesota and American Indian communities; provides high-quality academic and clinical education programs for professional, graduate, and undergraduate students; and advances distinguished research programs in health sciences.

Are you applying to medical school? 
Each year, on average, more than 50 first-year students enter our doors eager to learn the science and art of medicine. In addition to taking standard course work, students also participate in one-on-one clinical teaching experiences with doctors in small or Native American communities.Working in smaller communities can be an exciting challenge on many levels, and our students understand and embrace that challenge from “day one.” 
 
After two years, Duluth students have a variety of options for completing their medical education including the Rural Physician Associate Program or clerkships in Duluth, Minneapolis, or St. Paul.     

We offer additional programs that distinguish us from many other medical schools. Our Center of American Indian and Minority Health, for example, identifies, reaches out to, and recruits American Indians to medical school to serve Native Americans in urban and reservation settings. It is one of the top programs of its kind in the United States.
