"My favorite part of the program was my co-fellows. We were a big family, always collaborating on research projects, getting together outside of work, and being there for each other. Our faculty was also very approachable. They were only one phone call or page away and always willing to answer all your questions and see patients with you when necessary."

"The Hematology/Oncology fellowship program has the best clinical training. The fellows have the most autonomy with adequate supervision during the training. Upon graduation, they are very well-prepared for clinical practice regardless of type of setting. Patient care at Mayo Clinic has the best quality and efficiency in the nation. Patient care from different specialties is almost unified. The relationship between internists, surgeons, pathologists, and radiologists is extremely collegial. The patient is always first in our daily work."
