Connect with a current student or alumnus

We encourage prospective students to connect with a current student or alumnus to share their experiences with the program.  We find that these individuals can provide the most personal perspective of the benefits and impact of this commitment.

Recent cohorts have included individuals from: Allina, Blue Cross / Blue Shield, CentraCare, Fairview, HealthPartners, HCMC, Marshfield Clinic, Mayo Clinic, Medtronic, Merck & Co., Park Nicollet, Sanford Health, St. Mary's / Duluth Clinic, the State of MN, UCare, UnitedHealth Group, and many more.
