Many of our graduates elect to return to their home states after their training. Therefore, it should be no surprise that we have 50 states represented among our alumni. We also recruit a fair number into our practices in Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida.
Our graduates are equally prepared to enter private practice and academics. Overall, approximately one-third of our graduates end up pursuing an academic career. Of those in private practice, many of them are leading their groups or hospital organizations.
Here’s what a few of our graduates have to say about their experience in the program.

What I valued most about my Mayo training is the principle that the needs of the patient come first. This ethic was shared by all of the staff, from senior leadership all the way down. I knew that we all shared a common goal and sought to put others first.

I most valued two things about Mayo Anesthesia residency: A resident family and subconsultant hallway rotations throughout the vast majority of third year. I learned so much from my hallway senior rotations, which allowed me to freely participate in any number of cases, as I wasn’t tied to the geographic constraints of being an in-room (one OR) anesthesia provider.

I left Mayo with the confidence that I could perform anesthesia for just about any case out there. From a practice standpoint, I was incredibly prepared to take on even the most challenging cases. The professional atmosphere at Mayo taught me how to treat people appropriately, both patients and co-workers. Watching how our leaders at Mayo interacted with us on a daily basis, the respect and dignity they treated us with, inspired me to always treat people the same way.

Dedication. What makes this program special is its dedication to success. The needs of the patients always come first at Mayo. And through that vision, you can feel throughout all years of residency, that the staff and mentors are there for you and your future. Whether it be crushing the in-training-exams or trying to find a private practice job on either coast or wanting to become a future president of a major society, I always felt that the staff here were constantly trying to pull all of us residents upwards — much further than we thought we’d be going. I can only thank this program and my mentors for my successes now.

Although it varies from year to year, approximately one-half to two-thirds of our graduates pursue fellowship training. We offer fellowship opportunities in all the ACGME accredited fellowships and many non-ACGME accredited fellowships. Each fellowship director is a leader in his or her field of subspecialty and dedicated to the advancement of their field and engagement of young scientists and leaders.
At Mayo Clinic, we offer fellowships in critical care, pain management, cardiothoracic anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, neuroanesthesia, regional anesthesia, and obstetrical anesthesia. See a full list of fellowships.
We have also supported graduates who sought non-traditional specialties such as in education, transfusion medicine, statistics, and simulation training. Our goal is to create the best anesthesiologists in every field and Mayo Clinic excels at fostering a community, foundation, and culture to enhance this endeavor.
