Yes, in addition to being a national and international resource for medical care, the majority of residents of Rochester and Olmsted County and much of the surrounding region see a Mayo Clinic physician as their primary care provider. Rochester and surrounding areas have a diverse population. In the public school district, 17 percent of students are from underrepresented minority groups. The Department of Family Medicine plays an active role in the education of students. Clinical experiences in the Rochester or Kasson Family Medicine Clinics provide exposure to common medical problems. Students also spend one week under the guidance of a family medicine preceptor in a rural practice near Rochester. Internal medicine, pediatric and obstetric basic clerkships are strongly weighted toward community care as well.
