Meet Our Residents

From the chief residents
Welcome to Mayo Clinic's Emergency Medicine Residency! As chief residents, we are excited to share why we love training in Rochester, Minnesota. At Mayo Clinic, the needs of the patient truly do come first, and a spirit of collegiality and camaraderie make coming to work every day a joy.
Our residents see and manage an incredibly wide breadth of patient pathology. As trainees, we are uniquely situated to see it all, from the “bread and butter of emergency medicine” to extremely complex patient issues. As Emergency Medicine physicians, we manage all airways in our ED and alternate leading trauma resuscitations with our surgical colleagues every other day.
Our program provides support for nearly any activity that will help you reach your goals as an educator, community physician or researcher. Our residents hold national and regional leadership positions within ACEP, EMRA, and ABEM. Residents participate in three invaluable cadaver-based lab experiences yearly, focusing on airway management, critical procedures, and management of upper extremity injuries. Funding for research and travel to present at conferences is widely available through both departmental and institutional grants. Each year our interns go to a national conference as a group for learning and bonding experience.
With four elective months within our three-year program, residents with specific interests have opportunities to tailor their educational experiences to nearly any career aspiration and interests.
Last, and most important, our program is truly like a family. Our faculty and staff are leaders in Emergency Medicine; but more importantly, they know us as individuals, watch out for us, and are willing to customize our experiences to help us maximize our potential. Our program and institution value our wellness both within the hospital and at home with our families. We are fully supported to start or expand our families during training and the institution provides paid maternity and paternity leave as well as access to lactation rooms while on-shift.
Mayo Clinic's logo of three shields symbolizes the importance the institution places on patient care, education, and research. Each shield is of value to residents in training across the nation and most certainly encompasses what Mayo Clinic is all about. We are thrilled to be a part of this legacy and excited to meet and share this with all of you during the interview season!
