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.
