Joshua Baruth, M.D., Ph.D.

I am a dedicated psychiatrist and aim to provide high-quality care and improve access to underserved populations within the state of Minnesota.

While working on my psychiatry research fellowship, I earned a research-training award in collaboration with the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.

I am originally from Southern Minnesota and have been working in Mayo Clinic Health System since 2021. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, being outdoors, playing drums and guitar, and cheering for the Vikings!
