VAMC Internal Medicine Training Program

Welcome to the Minneapolis VA Medical Center

Clearly, the Minneapolis VAMC is one of the largest and loveliest VA hospitals around. We offer a unique experience that is an integral part of Internal Medicine residency training at the U of MN. Here, the majority of patients are elderly males, but many are surprised to learn we have a comprehensive women’s health center on site. At the VA, you will have ample opportunity to fine-tune your clinical skills and treat “bread and butter” medical diseases. However, one must also be able to recognize and treat the zebras, since we are the tertiary referral center for patients in the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN) 23, which includes 390,000 square miles across the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, and portions of Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Missouri, and Wyoming.
