Admissions
The mission of the University of Minnesota Medical School—Duluth Campus is to be a leader in educating physicians dedicated to family medicine, to serve the health care needs of rural Minnesota and American Indian communities and to discover and disseminate knowledge through research. Important Change for the 2010 Application Cycle The University of Minnesota Medical School has two campuses, in the Twin Cities and in Duluth. The Duluth program has a unique mission to train family medicine physicians for rural Minnesota and Native American communities. Beginning with the entering class of 2010, the two campuses will have a unified AMCAS identity. Applicants will designate the University of Minnesota Medical School—Minneapolis/Duluth on their AMCAS application whether they intend to apply to the Twin Cities, Duluth, or both campuses. The applicant will receive an e-mail with a link to a site where the applicant will indicate whether he or she is interested in applying to the Duluth program, the Twin Cities program, or both. Each campus will continue to have its own separate supplemental application process. The applicant will receive additional directions for the supplemental application from the selected program.
