Alumni
Since 1976 when our charter class graduated, the alumni of our school have been accomplishing our mission to serve rural communities. Consider this:
- Only about 4 percent of the nation's doctors practice in rural areas. Of those who trained at the University of Minnesota Medical School-Duluth, 47 percent practice in communities smaller than 20,000 people, and 62 percent practice in communities smaller than 50,000 people.
- Compared to 10 percent of physicians nationally, 51 percent of all Medical School-Duluth graduates enter family medicine residencies. With the total number of graduates now at 1,264, that translates to 646 family physicians in practice.
- 17 percent of American Indian physicians in the U.S matriculated at our school.
- 75 percent of Duluth alumni practice in Minnesota or western Wisconsin.
