We have a socioeconomic and ethnically diverse patient population across our teaching sites. The three most common languages spoken after English are Spanish, Somali, and Hmong. We typically have live interpreters for most clinic visits and video visits.
HealthPartners is an award-winning integrated health care system based in Bloomington, Minnesota, with a team of 27,000 people dedicated to a mission to improve the health of its members, patients and the community. As part of this large multispecialty group, we see primary Dermatology patients, primary care referrals, and referrals from specialists including complex multidisciplinary cases.
Our primary clinic locations are bustling sites of the Dermatology department of the HealthPartners and Park Nicollet Medical Groups. The primary clinic sites are located in St. Louis Park, Burnsville, Maple Grove, and Woodbury, all of which are in the Twin Cities Metro Area.
In addition to our primary clinical sites, we have a free-standing dedicated patch test clinic, Dermatopathology at Regions Hospital in St. Paul and at Park Nicollet clinic in St. Louis Park, and inpatient consultations at Methodist Hospital and Regions Hospital. Our residents spend time at each of these locations in addition to working with our Mohs Surgeons and Cosmetic Dermatologists. Our inpatient experience is somewhat unique in that all consultations are virtual; our residents work collaboratively with the inpatient hospital teams and an outside group of teledermatologists to complete these consults.
