The eighth edition of Mpls.St.Paul Magazine’s annual “Top Doctors: Rising Stars” recognized 128 University of Minnesota Physicians (M Physicians) doctors for the remarkable care they provide to Minnesota communities.
The list honors physicians in Minnesota who have been practicing for 10 years or less and were nominated by their peers as deserving of the award. Doctors named to the list were selected after a thorough review process by an expert panel that assessed their professional achievements in addition to other factors.
“We are proud of the exceptional physicians who have been recognized as this year’s Rising Stars,” said Bevan Yueh, MD, MPH, CEO of M Physicians. “As the group practice for U of M Medical School faculty who have trained 70% of Minnesota’s doctors, it is heartening to see in these honorees the future of outstanding care for Minnesota’s communities.”
