Highlights of the program include:

  • A small program size that allows program leaders to take a very individualized approach to your education and clinical experience
  • A robust curriculum including options to rotate at other Mayo Clinic campuses and ample research time
  • A practice model that facilitates a humane call schedule
  • Residents' schedules, along with the program and institutional support, allow you to have a healthy work-life balance

The Anesthesiology Residency offers six categorical positions, which combine a one-year Transitional Year Residency (PGY-1) with a three-year Anesthesiology Residency (PGY-2 through PGY-4). There is no separate application for the preliminary year.

The Anesthesiology Residency also offers one advanced position (PGY-2 through PGY-4) for candidates who choose to complete their internship elsewhere. Mayo Clinic in Arizona offers a one-year ACGME-accredited fellowship in Pain Medicine and a one-year accredited Anesthesia Critical Care Fellowship.
