Faculty
In addition to caring for patients in clinical practice, Mayo Clinic's faculty is committed to teaching and facilitating the growth of medical knowledge. Our faculty members have published and lectured extensively and are highly regarded in their fields. The fellow will work closely with these individuals throughout their training in the Comprehensive Endocrine Surgery Fellowship.
Advisers and mentors
Faculty advisers are available to provide comprehensive educational advice and personal support. The fellow will meet with their adviser periodically throughout the program to review progress and career goals, and ensure their educational needs are being met. Also, the fellow’s adviser may serve as a contact point for introducing fellows and their families to Rochester, Minnesota, and the Mayo Clinic system.
Visiting professors
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present their work during lectures, participate in hospital rounds and have informal discussions with trainees. The endocrine surgery fellow is encouraged to take full advantage of these educational opportunities.
