Minnesota medical schools
A Minnesota medical school guide covering the University of Minnesota Medical School and Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine — with program profiles, mission fit, and regional strategy.
Minnesota has two MD programs — the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis and Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine in Rochester. Minnesota does not currently have a DO program physically located in the state. If you are pursuing a DO pathway, research national AACOMAS programs and their residency policies directly. Match your academic record and experiences to each program's mission rather than treating local access as a substitute for fit.
