Med School

As our medical school prepares to open its doors in August 2025, we are preparing to welcome an inaugural class of 24 students. To embark on this new initiative, we are initiating pilot clerkships involving current students from Twin Cities and Duluth. Our surgery pilot commenced in February and will be followed by pilot clerkships in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and Family Medicine in May. These rotations, fundamental for students, will be established in collaboration with department leads at the University of Minnesota.

Improve

Very little in our careers as clinicians has remained the same. The name of the game has always been Improvement. We’ll explore topics here about our quality of care, safety, patient experience, and new standards of care. We’ll unpack High Reliability Organization (HRO) principles and practices in healthcare, focusing on safety and eliminating waste (in other words, Getting Rid of Stupid Stuff or G.R.O.S.S ). And we’ll highlight Primary Care Transformation as well as how technology innovations within the Epic environment will improve our lives as clinicians and change the way we deliver care.
