Medicine Pediatric Residency Program
Welcome to the Med Peds Residency program!
Our Medicine Pediatric Residency Program is one of the largest in the country. Blending internal medicine and pediatrics with global health and health equity values, it offers rigorous academics at a top public research institution, specialized training at multiple world-class hospitals, and a deep commitment to advocacy, community service, and the care of patients with chronic childhood-onset diseases.
Being a MedPeds physician means working at the intersection of many systems and fields: our approach to medical education is to innovate and train for the future while remembering the lessons of the past. The multidimensional diversity of our residents drives our program’s excellence and our ability to deliver responsive care to a diverse patient population.
Our thriving local community of UMN Med Peds Residency graduates is unrivaled in its breadth, depth, and commitment to welcoming and mentoring our close-knit group of residents and their families. We realize that work is part of life, but life is not all about work: our residents enjoy the Twin Cities’ unique blend of city living and proximity to year-around outdoor activities and culture.
