Frequently asked questions

What kind of procedures do you learn?

We provide extensive training in our simulation center, and you'll learn to perform skin biopsies, incision and drainage, cryotherapy, joint and soft tissue injections, point of care ultrasound, casting and splinting, colposcopies, IUD and Nexplanon insertions, endometrial biopsies, vasectomy, toenail removals, and more.

What is the call schedule like?

We have a night float system for PGY-2 and PGY-3 (senior) residents in our hospital admitting service. The night resident completes overnight shifts without work responsibilities on the days following these shifts. Each senior resident spends approximately three to four weeks a year on nights for one week at a time. The only 24-hour on-call assignments are national holidays that are covered by the PGY-2 residents.

As a first-year resident, you have two weeks of night float with a senior resident on family medicine and one to two weeks of night float in the pediatric hospital.

Are there training opportunities in international medicine?

The Mayo International Health Program enables residents to travel all over the globe with an elective rotation that provides medical care to an underserved international population in well-planned and mentored settings. The program provides financial support to help defray travel and basic living expenses.
