How more state funding could change U medical school
Gov. Mark Dayton wants to send $30 million in new state funding to the University of Minnesota Medical School. The plan is part of the governor's proposal for the next two-year budget cycle, and is the beginning of what Dayton hopes will be a $230 million commitment to the medical school over the next decade.
The money is designed to improve the medical school's national reputation and its research capacity - and bolster its role as a place where health innovations are created.
Dr. Brooks Jackson, vice president for health sciences and dean of the University of Minnesota's Medical School, joins The Daily Circuit to discuss the school's future.
