About
The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health is part of the University of Minnesota Medical School.
The department was created more than 50 years ago in response to a legislative mandate to train primary care physicians. Since then, we have been leaders in transforming the specialty through education, research, and patient care.
Education & Training
Our resident, medical student, fellow, and continuing education activities focus on innovative didactic and practice experiences.
Research
We are consistently ranked among the top National Institutes of Health-funded family medicine departments.
Patient Care
We have embraced the health care home model of care and modified our practices to include a team-based approach, integrated mental health services, and patient complexity assessment.
