Educating 70% of Minnesota’s health professionals.

To meet the health care needs of an increasing population of seniors over the next 20 years and to increase access to care in underserved parts of the state, the Academic Health Center is offering the 2010 Legislature a primary care solution.

By increasing scholarships, providing loan forgiveness, increasing the number of primary care residency positions, expanding the Rural Physician Associate Program, and preparing international medical graduates to practice, Minnesota will be better positioned to provide a solution to the shortage of primary care providers.

Physicians, nurses, dentists, pharmacists, public health care workers, and veterinarians are all part of the solution.
