The school has trained roughly half of the physicians currently practicing in the state. Nearly 20 percent of American physicians identifying as American Indian/Alaska Native in the United States were trained at the school.[1] Also, the medical school has been ranked third nationally in the area of rural medicine and first for the percentage of graduates choosing family medicine.[2] The school has four campuses located throughout North Dakota. The Northeast Campus, which is the main campus, is located in Grand Forks. The Northwest campus is located in Downtown Minot, the Southeast Campus is located in the Washington neighborhood in Fargo and the Southwest Campus is located in Downtown Bismarck.
The School also hosts professional programs for students interested in physician assistant studies, physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical laboratory science, sports medicine, and public health. It also offers master and doctoral-level training for researchers focused on the biomedical sciences and clinical and translational science.
In 2020 the School announced it would be taking applications for the world's first standalone doctoral program in indigenous health.
