ForwardGraduate Medical Education at Children's Minnesota
At Children's Minnesota, our vision is to be every family's essential partner in raising healthier children - not only during illnesses or injuries, but throughout childhood. Our Graduate Medical Education (GME) department is proud to train the future generation of medical professionals caring for our children in Minnesota and beyond. We are committed to providing exceptional learning opportunities in diverse clinical settings as well as engagement in scholarship with mentors in our Research Institute. Children’s Minnesota requires immunity to vaccine preventable infectious diseases prior to rotating onsite, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for health care professionals.
Our team supports trainees from the following disciplines:
- APP Trainees
- Graduate Level Research
- Medical Students
- Medical Residents
- Medical Fellows
- Pharmacy Trainees
- Pharmacy Residents
- Psychology Interns
- Some Graduate Level Allied Health
