In these seven months, there was not one day that I did not learn something new from a patient or case. The variety of the population and patient complexity is great. Also, life in Phoenix is nice and there are plenty of outdoor activities to do.

I chose to come to Mayo Clinic in Arizona due to the breadth of pathology we get exposure to, from the bread-and-butter ID to the most complex immunocompromised hosts.

I chose to pursue the Infectious Disease fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Arizona due to the well-regarded reputation of the institution and the wide array of pathologies in its patient demographics. However, over the last few months. even this expansive reputation has been surpassed in my experience. I’ve been able to partake in the care of complex patients with uncommon and unusual presentations, with simultaneous exposure to classic, standard cases within the field of infectious disease. Moreover, all the while, I have experienced great support from the entirety of the faculty, and my co-fellows.
