Item Duluth - An Excellent Site for a Second Medical School(1968-05-08) Northern Minnesota Council for Medical EducationIf the decision is made by the Legislature that a second medical school should be established in the State, in addition to expanding the Health Sciences facilities and programs on the Twin Cities campus of the University of Minnesota, the Northern Minnesota Council for Medical Education believes that the school should be located on the campus of the University of Minnesota, Duluth.Item Proposal to Establish a Medical School at the University of Minnesota, Duluth(1968-07) Northern Minnesota Council for Medical EducationThe Northern Minnesota Council for Medical Education represents a group of physicians, educators and civic leaders dedicated to seeking ways and means to improve the supply and delivery of health care to the citizens of Minnesota. Organized by a small group of Duluth physicians in 1966, the Council was expanded in 1967 to include representatives from various communities in northern Minnesota. Since its inception, the Council has worked closely with representatives of the University of Minnesota School of Medicine and the University of Minnesota administrators. Dean Robert B. Howard and President O. Meredith WiIson were the first in the University to know of the Council's activity in Duluth. This Council has been guided by two basic tenets: that we shall support the Regents' Plan to expand the Health Science Program in Minneapolis; and that, if the Minnesota Legislature should decide to establish a second medical school in this state, the best site for that medical school would be the campus of the University of Minnesota, Duluth.Item Report of the Special House Committee on the Need for a Second Medical School(1969-04)Pursuant to direction of the 1967 session of the Minnesota Legislature, the House Rules Committee appointed a committee from members of the House Appropriations Committee to a continuing study of the need for expanding medical education and the possibility of a new medical school in Minnesota. There has never been a time in the history of medical education in Minnesota, when as much interest is being directed toward its growth and diversity. This committee has heard from three groups, namely; N.A.M.E., Board of Trustees of the Mayo Foundation, and the Northern Minnesota Council on Medical Education, all of whom outlined plans for a new medical school. The University of Minnesota explained the proposal for expansion of the Health Sciences at the University's Minneapolis Campus and suggested plans for further extension in other parts of the state. It appears there are exciting possibilities for expansion, innovation and new programs for medical education in Minnesota. This committee outlines, in this report, immediate steps that it feels should be taken as well as plans extending into the future. After personal visits to medical schools in various parts of the nation and hearing plans in other states, the committee sees a sense of urgency entering into the need for Minnesota to start plans immediately for whatever course future expansion will follow. The competition for federal funds grows more intense each year. A word of caution is noted however. In spite of ever increasing demands for more medical practitioners in all areas of health sciences, the Legislature must recognize the limits of Minnesota's resources and its ability through taxes to support all the demands of the people of the state. The committee agrees that if expansion in the scope as anticipated by all of the proponents of the plans suggested in this report are put into operation vast sums of money must be raised by private subscription. Medical education is a costly necessity and a quality product demands huge expenditures both for buildings and programs. In view of these admitted high costs and demonstrated needs, the Minnesota Legislature must weigh carefully its financial support so that the highest priority goes to those areas of greatest urgency in meeting the medical demands of the people of Minnesota now and in the future. We are proud "after four years of study" to make these recommendations to you, our colleagues, in the House and Senate.Item Major Medical Center for Northern Minnesota(1971) University of Minnesota, DuluthItem School of Medicine Information Booklet (1972/1973)(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1972) University of Minnesota, DuluthItem Preliminary Space Program: University of Minnesota School of Medicine - Duluth(1972-06) Lester Gorsline AssociatesThis Preliminary Space Program has been prepared to support the application of the newly organized Medical School of the University of Minnesota, Duluth, for federal assistance in the construction of a basic sciences teaching facility. The materiaI presented in this volume is the resuIt of a planning effort which has involved the faculty and administration of the School, working jointly with the planning consultants and the architect. This process began with a careful analysis of the aims and objectives of the School and has proceeded through functional definition of the facilities and personnel needed to achieve these objectives. At the School's present stage of growth, the Space Program is necessarily an incomplete and preliminary statement which will undergo further development as planning proceeds.Item Regents Report to the Minnesota Legislative Building Commission 1973: Medical Education Special(1972-06-09) University of Minnesota, DuluthItem University of Minnesota, Duluth School of Medicine-Duluth (1973-1975)(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1973) University of Minnesota, DuluthItem University of Minnesota, Duluth School of Medicine-Duluth (1977-1979)(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1977) University of Minnesota, DuluthItem University of Minnesota, Duluth School of Medicine-Duluth (1979-1981)(University of Minnesota, Duluth, 1979) University of Minnesota, DuluthItem Program Review and Long Range Planning(1979-12) University of Minnesota, DuluthAs the University of Minnesota, Duluth, School of Medicine enters the decade of the eighties, the importance of integrating planning processes and allocation of resources is important.
