Allyson Palmer, M.D., Ph.D.
2022 Geriatric Medicine Fellowship Graduate
"I have known I wanted to pursue geriatrics since the beginning of medical school. After receiving my M.D. from the Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine and my Ph.D. from Mayo Graduate School, I fell in love with Rochester. I decided to continue my training at Mayo Clinic due to the collegial atmosphere, focus on patient-centered care, amazing educators, and potential for interdisciplinary research collaborations.
I am a co-owner of Thesis Beer Project, a microbrewery in Rochester, with my husband Adam. In my free time, I love to garden, listen to live music, travel, and spend time with our two Shiba Inus and our long-haired cat, Sam."
Current position: Faculty, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Division of Hospital Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota
