About the School

As a mission-based campus, we are proven leaders in the areas of primary care, rural medicine, and training Native American physicians. The campus admits a small class of approximately 60 students each year. Through standard coursework and specialized one-on-one clinical teaching experiences, our students are trained to deliver expert care for rural and Native American communities. After two years in 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.

The US News and World Report's rankings consistently list us in the top ten medical schools for training students interested in primary care and rural medicine.
