The University of Minnesota Medical School is at the forefront of learning and discovery, transforming medical care and educating the next generation of physicians. Our graduates and faculty produce high-impact biomedical research and advance the practice of medicine.

The story of the Medical School is filled with illustrious giants of discovery, innovation, and compassion. I believe that access to healthcare is a fundamental human right, and that is why being a physician, medical scientist, nurse or other medical staff is still a noble calling.

It is the Medical School’s great and wonderful responsibility to meet the needs of our patients, cultivate a new and compassionate generation of medical providers, and to advance the science and practice of medicine. And, as a member of the Health Sciences at the University of Minnesota, we help develop coordinated, interprofessional care models working alongside the School of Dentistry, School of Nursing, College of Pharmacy, School of Public Health, and College of Veterinary Medicine.
