Our residents love all that Mayo Clinic and Jacksonville have to offer. We'll support you both inside and outside of campus and ensure your work/life balance. As a trainee, your physical and mental health is a priority to both Mayo Clinic and our department.
As a resident, your physical and mental health is a priority. You will have access to several resources to promote well-being, as well as time off clinical duties to attend appointments.
Mayo Clinic residents or fellows can experience 24/7 free access to the Bill Hewitt Employee Wellness Center — opened in the summer of 2024 and spans 6,700 square feet with modern cardio machines, weight machines, free weights, a studio for live classes, and includes showers and locker rooms for convenience.
Additionally, residents or fellows at our three campuses get discounted membership fees to area gyms. In Jacksonville, Florida, residents and fellows can obtain an exclusive discount with the YMCA (several locations).
Opportunities to join a variety of groups on campus provide regular social activities and can help enhance your training while connecting with a broad group of peers.
Trainees will have the opportunity to join a Mayo Employee Resource Group (MERG) at any time during their training program. Current MERGs on the Florida campus include groups based on African, Asian, and Latino heritage as well as groups focused on veterans, global health volunteering, professional development, family resources and events, and LGBTI and differently-abled staff and allies.
The Student Services office provides resources to promote academic, emotional, social, cognitive, financial, and physical well-being. Career and academic services include academic advising, peer tutoring, and accommodations for learners with disabilities or health conditions. Mental health services, counseling, interview practice, and a variety of enrichment sessions on topics like budgeting, resiliency, and stress and burn-out are also available through the Student Services office.
At Mayo Clinic, we foster an inclusive working environment and embrace the diversity of all of our residents, faculty, staff, and patients. Our Office for Education Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion offers tremendous resources to support our mission of maintaining a welcoming atmosphere for all of our employees, including our learners. We strive to provide culturally appropriate care and do our part to reduce health care disparities.
Open to all Mayo Clinic employees, MERGs celebrate, support, and encourage diversity among employees. MERGs are employee-organized groups that form around a common dimension of diversity. Explore the video for more information and learn about groups in Florida.

Meet our residents and learn about why they chose Mayo Clinic and what life is like for them at work and during their free time.
I couldn't be happier with my co-residents and feel lucky to interact with such incredible teachers every day. Apart from neurology, my hobbies include biking on my electric bicycle, skiing, rollerblading, and going to the beach with friends.

Adult neurology resident
I chose Mayo Clinic for the opportunity to see complex pathology in a collegial environment that values resident education. I suppose the weather and proximity to the beach sweetened the opportunity a little bit! In my free time, you can find me at the beach with friends, baking, traveling, and trying out new restaurants!

I have been impressed at the approachability of everyone here at Mayo Clinic. It’s astonishingly easy for me to reach out to colleagues and it’s clear that the needs of the patient truly do come first.
