Connect with OACA

The Office of Academic Clinical Affairs (OACA) advances the University of Minnesota’s clinical mission by:

serving as the front door for clinical work, research and training
bringing together and leveraging the strengths and talents across the University
connecting statewide to develop partnerships in clinical research, training and practice
offering the opportunity to expand how we think about health and health care to impact health and wellness across Minnesota.

The University of Minnesota Twin Cities is built within the traditional homelands of the Dakota people. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
