We have a full-spectrum family medicine residency. Many of our residents have an international interest, as do several of our faculty. Our clinic population is quite diverse and offers an "international" longitudinal experience. Our connection with the University of Minnesota provides international educational opportunities, including the Global Family Medicine Pathway, which is available to family medicine residents in the University of Minnesota Department of Family Medicine and Community Health Residency Programs.
