Mayo Clinic recruits many of its staff physicians from its own training programs, so when you successfully complete your general surgery training, job opportunities may be available at one of Mayo Clinic's group practices.

Mayo Clinic is where the best practice. I was able to learn how to take out gallbladders from an HPB surgeon and how to take out colons from a colorectal surgeon, learning the best from the best. This also includes other specialties. I had several opportunities to go into GI and IR suites and learn from these extremely advanced shared cases. There is a very clear open-door policy, so I was able to learn so much more from other specialties which has helped me better care for my patients.
