Residency
We have eight family medicine residency programs—five in the bustling Twin Cities and three in beautiful Greater Minnesota
We train family physicians to provide comprehensive, personalized care for the whole family in any setting: urban, rural, global. Each program boasts unique strengths, culture, and sense of community. We take great pride in the rigor and scope of our training and curriculum, including complex care and obstetrics. Discover why we're a top choice.

Interested in specializing in rural midwest primary care?
All of our residency programs prepare you for rural health, with three programs in locations that serve more rural populations (Duluth, St. Cloud, and Willmar). Find out more.
Minnesota's approach to family medicine sets us apart from other states and contributes to our status as one of the healthiest in the nation thanks to our robust primary care system.
*The Woodwinds Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program was formerly known as the St. Joseph's Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program. The name was changed in 2021 to reflect our move to the Woodwinds Hospital.
