I always feel like my education and well-being are of utmost importance. The support from faculty, fellow residents, and staff is incredible.
Lindsay Barendrick, M.D.
Anesthesiology resident
Despite the growth of the institution, the residency has remained small with three residents per class with a close-knit, collegial, and supportive culture. The small size allows program leaders to take a very individualized approach to your education, and the practice model facilitates a flexible, humane call schedule and a very healthy work-life balance.
The Anesthesiology Residency offers a categorical program, which combines a one-year Transitional Year Residency (PGY-1) with a three-year Anesthesiology Residency (PGY-2 through PGY-4). There is not a separate application for the preliminary year.
To complement Mayo Clinic's Anesthesiology Residency, a one-year accredited fellowship in pain medicine is available at the completion of the residency program.
