Our faculty members have a broad range of interests encompassing biology, medicine, nursing, public health and health services research. All faculty participate in the teaching, research, and service activities of the program and their academic institution. They are leaders in their professional communities, serving on boards of major professional societies, as editors and editorial board members of scholarly journals, and as consultants to the health care industry. Many have been recognized professionally as fellows and senior members of learned societies. Review the brief biographical sketches and listings of recent journal articles to get an overall picture of the program faculty and their areas of research interest.
Here is a quick list of current faculty interests. We especially encourage applications from those with interests that align with ongoing faculty research. (UMN indicates faculty at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis; Mayo indicates faculty at the Mayo College of Medicine, Rochester.
