Education that Changes the Practice of Medicine

At the University of Minnesota, we want students with a curious mind—a drive to know more—who are ready to practice medicine and devote their lives to service, care, research, and leadership. For four years, MD students are trained extensively in anatomy and physiology. Our students learn professionalism and leadership skills, interact with patients, and directly deliver care even before they graduate.
