Dhauna Prasad Karam, M.D.Hometown: Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India Residency: Rosalind Franklin University of Medicine and Science/ Chicago Medical School Why Mayo: Growing up in India, I have always looked up to Mayo clinic as the place where people go for "Medical Miracles." So when I was pursuing my residency in Chicago, I was constantly evaluating opportunities at Mayo Clinic. Initially, I joined the Mayo Family as an Internal medicine physician and experienced the extensive research advances and unparalleled teamwork firsthand. Also, the ability to learn from world renowned disease experts accentuated my dream of being a trainee at Mayo. Hence it was natural that I chose to pursue a hematology oncology fellowship at mayo Rochester and the learning has been extraordinary. You know you made the right choice when you are learning from professors who are on the cover page of renowned hematology oncology textbooks every day! This is where guidelines are written, drug discoveries are made, above all patients are treated with utmost respect and compassion. I am grateful to be a trainee here and will make the choice again anytime. |

Clifford Csizmar, M.D., Ph.D.Hometown: Sandypoint, ID Residency: Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota Why Mayo: I chose Mayo Clinic for the unparalleled combination of patient care, research, and educational opportunities. Mayo Clinic cares for local, national, and global patients, thereby providing a comprehensive exposure to diverse pathologies. Importantly, fellows serve as the primary Hematologist or Oncologist for their own patient panel, which enables longitudinal relationships with patients and families while also enriching the educational experience. There is also robust institutional and extramural support for basic, translational, and clinical research, all of which are bolstered by renowned and enthusiastic mentors. As part of the Clinician Investigator Training Program, the fellowship was readily able to accommodate my protected time for bench research. Moreover, the fellowship maintains a keen focus on education, with didactic sessions led by experts in each subspecialty. Indeed, graduates from the fellowship program at Mayo Clinic are well equipped to transition into general community and sub-specialized academic practices alike. Finally, these opportunities are provided in a beautiful town with a low cost of living and no traffic, which help facilitate an excellent work-life balance. I would happily choose Mayo Clinic for my residency and fellowship training again! |
