What makes this fellowship special? What makes this fellowship special is the people. The faculty and the Mayo Clinic culture all contribute to an environment that is supportive and inspiring. The faculty are not only leaders in the field but also dedicated mentors who are genuinely invested in our growth and development. Their expertise and guidance are invaluable as we navigate fellowship and begin our careers. Additionally, the fellowship offers incredible opportunities and resources that allow us to become leaders in the fields of research, education, and clinical practice. Access to cutting-edge technology, diverse patient populations, and collaborative research projects enable us to contribute meaningfully to the field and advance our careers. Lastly, the Mayo Clinic culture is unparalleled. It fosters a sense of community, emphasizes patient-centered care, and encourages continuous improvement. This unique blend of excellence, compassion, and camaraderie truly sets this fellowship apart.

Why did you choose Mayo Clinic for fellowship training? For me, choosing to pursue a fellowship at Mayo for my critical care medicine training was an easy decision. Specifically, the emphasis on multidisciplinary experience across a broad range of ICU venues (cardiac, ECMO, neuro, surgical, transplant, medical, etc.) provides CCM fellows with a holistic critical care experience, which makes them comfortable managing the full spectrum of critically ill patients. While the world-class critical care staff here provides highly relevant clinical teaching, the procedural training is equally emphasized. CCM fellows manage all ICU airways and gain ample experience in essential ICU skills such as chest drains, lines, and other ultrasound-guided procedures. Whether you are interested in working community ICU or prefer a specialized, quaternary academic setting upon graduation from fellowship, Mayo will help you develop the career you want so that you can do the right thing for any manner of patient that lands in your unit.

Why is this fellowship special? Our CCIM fellowship at Mayo Clinic is special for many reasons, and it has been an incredible journey for me so far. Our program curriculum is highly comprehensive, offering extensive procedural training and flexibility to explore my diverse interests within as well as outside of the program with global experience. The program excels with its strong clinical training, paired with a focus on education, research excellence, and fellow autonomy, thereby fostering a truly rich learning environment here.

What do you enjoy about living in Rochester? Rochester boasts an abundance of recreational opportunities, with expansive parks and hiking trails available for exploration every weekend. For urban enthusiasts, the vibrant city life of Minneapolis is conveniently located just an hour away. Furthermore, Rochester hosts numerous cultural events, and its supportive community enhances the overall experience. Personally, I find solace in the natural beauty and lush greenery of the area, which is complemented by the unique experience of witnessing all four seasons—a distinctive feature of this region.
