Mayo Clinic is the top-ranked center for patient care clinical experiences in the country. As a student, you'll learn with these world-class experts as your faculty. They will encourage and guide you to explore and maximize your education.
Our 3:1 full-time faculty-to-student ratio allows for highly individualized instruction and supervision. Beyond full-time faculty, students have unparalleled access to many other Mayo Clinic clinicians and researchers across all three campuses.
You'll have endless opportunities to find and maintain mentorship relationships with your faculty. One way we facilitate this is with a specialty career adviser.
Every first-year student is carefully paired with a specialty career adviser who provides career guidance throughout the four-year curriculum. Your specialty career adviser not only acts as a mentor, but also invests in you and your success as you pursue your M.D. degree.

Faculty at Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine consists of researchers, educators, scientists, and professionals — unique individuals across all areas of expertise. Your instructors are not only your instructors, they're leaders across the institution, performing surgeries, seeing patients, conducting research, and working at Mayo Clinic.
Medical students receive instruction and experience directly from physician faculty who spend significant time in the clinic and hospital settings. From day one, you'll use the knowledge gained from the classroom and directly apply it to patient care in a clinical setting, right alongside your instructors.
The relationship between faculty and students is unique because of the unusually high faculty-to-student ratio at Mayo Clinic. I felt as though my faculty mentors were completely invested in my success. They were always eager to identify ways for me to explore my passions and develop the skills necessary to be the best possible clinician.
