Positions

Two categorical positions are available each year on a competitive basis in the Child Neurology Residency at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota, for trainees completing medical school.

In the 2026–2027 Match, an additional reserved position is available to trainees who have completed training within ACGME-accredited residency programs, including either two years of General Pediatrics training (preferred), or one year of General Pediatrics and one year of Internal Medicine or Family Medicine.

Qualifications

Applicants typically apply to the Child Neurology Residency during their fourth year of medical school.

Note that if you have failed the U.S. Medical Licensing Examination three times, you are not appointable to Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education.

How to apply

You must apply through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS). This can be done through your medical school dean's office.

The application form and all supporting documentation must be submitted by Nov. 1 of the year preceding the appointment date. However, it is to your benefit to have the application in as early as possible, as we begin reviewing applications and extending interview offers by the middle to end of September.

1. To apply to the program, visit the ERAS website. All applications to Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education programs must include these application materials.
2. Appointments are made through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP). Candidates must register through the NRMP website.
3. Applicants considered for an appointment will receive an invitation to participate in a virtual interview day which will be held between October and January. The applicant will have the opportunity to meet the program director, several faculty members, and current residents while learning more about the program.
4. All interviewees will be invited to an optional, no-stakes, in-person second look event on campus in February 2027 to provide an opportunity for interested candidates to meet our faculty and residents and tour the campus. This event will be held before the applicant rank list deadline and attendance has no impact on the program’s ranking of applicants.
