From the program director

Welcome and thank you for your interest in the Body Imaging Fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida!

Our division consists of 21 board-certified radiologists subspecialized in abdominal and pelvic imaging with recognized leaders in GI, hepatobiliary, GU, and oncologic imaging. 

We have a close-knit group of faculty and a collegial work environment. We take pride in providing excellent care to our patients and taking care of our trainees. 

Mayo Clinic is a specialty clinic focused on the care of complex and rare diseases. Our radiologists practice as an integral part of the health care team. 

In the words of Dr. W.W. Mayo, “No one is big enough to be independent of others.” The values set forth by the founders of Mayo Clinic are as important today as when they were spoken over 150 years ago. 

We continue to embody these values through our unmatched multidisciplinary focus on our patients.
