Dozens of University of Minnesota Health physicians were honored as “Rising Stars” in their fields by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine this week.
On Tuesday, the magazine released the 2017 edition of “Top Doctors: Rising Stars,” an annual list of up-and-coming physicians who are making a mark in medicine. This year, 90 doctors affiliated with University of Minnesota Physicians across 33 medical specialties were included in the list. Of that total, 86 physicians see patients at University of Minnesota Health clinics and hospitals. The remaining four serve patients at University of Minnesota Physicians locations.
To be selected, “Rising Stars” candidates must have been fully licensed to practice for 10 years or less. Each individual named to the list of “Rising Stars” was chosen by peers in the field. All candidates are evaluated on numerous factors, including professional achievement, review by an expert panel, research and disciplinary history. All total, 386 local physicians were named by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. University of Minnesota Physicians doctors made up nearly one-quarter of all those listed.
A total of 71 University of Minnesota Physicians doctors were honored as “Rising Stars” last year. University of Minnesota Physicians is the multi-specialty group practice for the University of Minnesota Medical School faculty.
