About 25-30 percent of our residents have pursued subspecialty training in a variety of fields. Internal fellowships at Abbott include cardiology (see details below) and Hematology/Oncology that will accept its first class in June 2027. Abbott Northwestern is a participating institution with the University of Minnesota for multiple fellowships. Our six months of potential elective blocks make it possible for a resident to become involved in clinical research during the first year of residency and to have additional elective clinical experiences in a field before fellowship applications are due.

A large volume of clinical research is conducted on the hospital campus, and many residents participate in these activities. With the help of a faculty mentor, each resident completes a scholarly project before graduation from the program. With the availability of up to 6 elective months, some residents begin research projects in their first year and continue the research in subsequent years. Many residents have published their work.
