North Memorial Family Medicine Residency Program

North Memorial

We prepare residents for future practice by combining clinical training in an urban community that is underserved with limited access to health care and that offers a high-intensity, full-spectrum hospital experience.

Many of our residents have an interest in underserved medicine and health disparities, whether in an urban or rural setting. We believe broad, vigorous training enables our residents to practice anywhere, and 30 percent of our graduates go on to a rural practice. Community health and integration are also fundamental to the North Memorial residency experience.

Our program has ACGME Osteopathic Recognition.
