2023 Gastroenterology Fellowship Graduate

"A major highlight of this fellowship is the time that fellows invest in solidifying their research skills. We had a full second year of fellowship devoted to research and academic activities. The third year was my favorite due to the extensive exposure to complex gastrointestinal endoscopy. Mayo Clinic in Rochester has a unique model for handling GI endoscopic emergencies, allowing fellows to focus on procedures and timely patient care without having to cover other non-procedural consults. Lastly, the opportunity to work with internal medicine residents in the GI inpatient service was an absolute highlight. The three Mayo shields of excellence in patient care, research, and education were certainly instilled during my training, and I strive to embody these values throughout my career."

2021 Gastroenterology Fellowship Graduate

"I treasure the time that I spent in fellowship at Mayo Clinic. The clinical training was an ideal balance of independence and support that fostered confidence but also created opportunities to learn from mentors who were approachable, kind, and more than willing to share their extensive knowledge and experience. I also valued the chance to learn in a system where everyone seemed to be motivated by the same goal: helping the patient, and where professionalism and kindness marked interactions with co-workers and patients."

2019 Gastroenterology Fellowship Graduate

"What I valued most about the Mayo Clinic Gastroenterology Fellowship, was the ability to rotate through various subspecialty clinics within GI, besides learning general gastroenterology and hepatology. I was able to subspecialize in a niche field of interest (medical pancreatology) due to the availability of good clinical and research mentorship."

2016 Gastroenterology Fellowship Graduate

"The Gastroenterology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic was an all-around fantastic experience. I was lucky to have the opportunity to learn from so many world-class clinicians and researchers, and the mentorship in the program is truly phenomenal. Mayo provided me with a strong clinical and research foundation and instilled the essential ethos that the patient always comes first. I would not have discovered my passion for IBD or be where I am today without the ongoing guidance of my Mayo mentors, whom I now consider friends, and for that, I am and will always be grateful!"
