STR-X Fellowship

Page Content

Overview

The Simulation, Telemedicine, Robotics and eXperimental Education Fellowship at Mayo Clinic’s campus in Jacksonville, Florida, is a unique multidisciplinary fellowship focused on training the next generation of physician-scientist-innovators in the four major domains of simulation, telemedicine, robotics, and experimental education.

STR-X fellows achieve a cutting-edge, interprofessional skill set of knowledge around several emerging technologies, including:

Telemedicine and telerobotics
Haptic feedback interfacing
Emerging immersive learning platforms using augmented reality and virtual reality

Through this 12-month fellowship, you will design projects where this technology can help advance and help address global health care disparities.

We seek highly motivated and qualified physicians to become future STR-X leaders that will help transform health care in the near future.

Program history
