Welcome to the University of Minnesota Med-Peds Program

Our mission is to provide exceptional education and training in the care of adults and children with the goal of preparing our graduates for careers in general Med-Peds practice, sub-specialty fellowships, or research and academia.

We accomplish this by combining the best of two nationally renowned categorical programs in a setting that fosters personal growth, pursuit of professional excellence and academic inquiry, while supporting balance in life. Our success is measured by the accomplishments of our graduates.

The Med-Peds community here in the Twin Cities has grown dramatically since our program's inception in 1989. As one of the largest programs in the nation, we have graduated nearly 100 Med-Peds-trained physicians, many of whom have remained in our community. These physicians are a phenomenal resource for mentoring and providing community clinical training, and add great depth to the residency experience here.

Information on resident life, the categorical programs, the Med-Peds curriculum, the application process, and life in the Twin Cites are included within this Web site. Take advantage of the "Ask a Med-Peds Resident" area, as our residents best exemplify the strength and diversity of the program.
