Alumni, Medical School Duluth at the University of Minnesota
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.
