From the Program Director

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the PGY-2 Infectious Diseases Pharmacy Residency at Mayo Clinic — Rochester. As the scope of infectious diseases pharmacists continues to evolve, the need for highly trained infectious diseases pharmacy specialists continues to grow also. The last 10 years at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota have brought about big changes in the landscape of infectious diseases pharmacy services, including expansion of antimicrobial stewardship, inpatient consult (both adult and pediatric), and OPAT programs. I firmly believe that the future of infectious diseases pharmacy, at Mayo Clinic and beyond, is bright.

Mayo Clinic has a robust history of excellence in research, education, and clinical practice, while diligently protecting and maintaining our primary value that “the needs of the patient come first”. The diversity of infectious diseases services provided within our institution offer the resident numerous opportunities to develop advanced knowledge and clinical skills in a variety of infectious diseases specialties and care settings while working alongside an incredible multidisciplinary team.

Our precepting team brings a wealth of clinical, research, and educational experience and is excited to contribute to the training and development of future infectious diseases pharmacists. Our chief goal is to train competent clinicians who can seamlessly integrate into clinical infectious diseases pharmacy practice whilst also possessing the skill and ability to use tools gained during residency to advance the field and our profession at large.

Thank you for considering Mayo Clinic as a potential location for your infectious diseases training.
