Dominika Jegen, M.D., M.A., CCFP(EM), DABFM, is a full-time family physician practicing in Rochester, Minnesota. She practices full-scope family medicine for all ages including offering prenatal care and obstetrics, and enjoys performing a wide range of clinical procedures. She is also actively involved in clinical research and education at Mayo Clinic.

Dr. Jegen was born in Poland and grew up in Germany and thereafter in Canada. She completed her two undergraduate degrees in Biology and Medical Sociology, and her MD degree from the University of Calgary in Canada. She then completed Family Medicine residency at Queen's University in Kingston, Canada. After graduation, Dr. Jegen worked for four years as a remote fly-in physician in Northern Canada in Ontario, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut with Aboriginal and Inuit patients. This time was incredibly demanding yet satisfying, as it involved working with very low resources in remote settings.

Thereafter Dr. Jegen moved to the United States and worked in rural Mississippi in an underserved area, in Seattle as a Clinical Director for a predominantly immigrant population and thereafter at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

In her free time, Dr. Jegen enjoys writing journal articles, travelling internationally (hoping to reach 100 countries soon!), attending concerts and car shows. She is married and has two pets: a Doberman Pinscher and Royal Python.
