Our residents love all that Mayo Clinic and Jacksonville have to offer. We'll support you both inside and outside of the Mayo Clinic 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. 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.
Outside of work, residents enjoy a variety of activities on the land, in the water, and during days of sunshine. Looking for fun water activities? Our residents recommend going to the beach, surfing down by the pier, jet skiing, and deep sea fishing. Prefer to stay on land? Our residents enjoy going to concerts, attending cookouts, and spending time together at local restaurants and breweries.
At Mayo Clinic, we foster an inclusive working environment and embrace the diversity of all of our trainees, 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.
