Duluth Campus

Our research relates both to our mission and connects with the broader Medical School research objectives. We work closely with the Duluth Global Health Research Institute to facilitate our clinical and academic work, and to improve access to medical science discovery on a broader scale. The Memory Keepers Medical Discovery Team, led by Dr. Neil Henderson, is based on the Medical School's Duluth campus, and will work to preserve brain health by the improved understanding of dementia and diabetes as an interactive syndemic.

There are two main departments on the Duluth campus and over 130 faculty members. Our clinical faculty can be found throughout the state, and our on-campus faculty work primarily to educate undergraduate medical students and conduct research. We often interact with the Twin Cities campus remotely to continue engagement with the school's overall mission and goals.

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, our 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.

Hassle is a word we don't really hear up in Duluth. Getting to campus couldn't be easier, with plenty of parking and housing options across the street. Our faculty and staff are more than approachable, they're friends and allies to the students who come here. The city is vibrant and fun, with a lot of history and some truly amazing food. The beauty of the North Shore can't be beaten, and for anyone who loves the outdoors, there's plenty to see and do near Duluth.
