Dr. Mina Krenz, MD

Hometown: Minneapolis, MN

Medical School: University of Minnesota Medical School

I grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota and graduated from University of Minnesota Medical School.  Prior to medical school, I spent time as a public health volunteer working with Indigenous communities in rural Guatemala and Panama and also volunteered along the U.S. Mexico border at migrant safe houses.

In medical school, I worked as a clinic coordinator and medical interpreter at the Phillips Neighborhood Clinic, a free clinic in Minneapolis, which serves a majority Latinx immigrant population.  In the future, I’m interested in caring for populations with limited access to healthcare resources in the rural southwest or along the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Anticipating this goal, I am participating in the Rural Pathway to learn about what it means to be a rural full-spectrum med-peds doc and to gain some rural medicine skills along the way.
