Emily Onello, MD
Dr. Onello's involvement in medical student education has focused on preparing well-trained family physicians for rural and tribal practice settings. She has overseen several clinical courses which place students with family physicians across Minnesota and northwest Wisconsin. Most recently, she began directing a 5-year grant from the Minnesota Department of Health to expand rural clinical training experiences for medical students. Her current areas of scholarly interests include rural physician workforce shortages along with other factors that impact the health of rural and tribal communities. She has a special research focus on the health benefits of manoomin (wild rice). She attended the Mayo Medical School in Rochester, MN followed by family medicine residency training at Mayo Graduate School of Medicine in Rochester/Kasson MN. Her first practice out of residency training was as a family physician at the Bay Area Health Center in Silver Bay, MN. Since then, she has practiced medicine with St. Luke's Urgent Care and then with the Lake Superior Community Health Center in Duluth, MN. She currently serves as a community preceptor at the Duluth Family Medicine Clinic in Duluth. Across all of her practice experiences, she recognizes the complex challenges related to aging, cognitive decline and dementia. She is excited to be part of the Memory Keepers team.
