Advisers and mentors
Our Hematology/Oncology Career Development Program provides an individualized, structured way for you to develop meaningful mentoring relationships. Early in the first year of fellowship, you meet the two Career Development Program faculty advisers and work to create an individual Career Development Plan.
The faculty advisers introduce you to potential mentors based on your individual interests (research interests and overall career aspirations). You then continue to meet with your faculty advisers on a regular basis.
Visiting professors
Many prominent professors visit Mayo Clinic each year. They present their work during lectures, participate in hospital rounds, and have informal discussions with trainees. You are encouraged to take full advantage of these opportunities.
