I loved seeing patients and collaborating on research projects across medical fields such as cardiology, neurology, neurosurgery, vascular surgery, and dentistry. My mentors provided me with the knowledge, guidance, and utmost support to advance my career in academic infectious disease.

The third year in fellowship at Mayo Clinic is funded by the division, and fellows do not have to seek grant funds for that year. To the best of my knowledge, this aspect is unique to Mayo Clinic. The three years of training allow for additional clinical, elective, and research time to prepare for one's eventual career.

I originally came to Mayo Clinic for the Critical Care Medicine Fellowship. I stayed for the Infectious Disease Fellowship because I found it a truly great place to train — the academic opportunities are unbelievable, and the training, funding, and supporting infrastructure for research make it hard not to be productive. Beyond that, the faculty members are friendly, easy to work with, and dedicated teachers.

One of the most unique features of the fellowship is the fact that despite it being a three-year fellowship, there is still an opportunity for equal distribution of that time between research and clinical training, so graduating fellows will not feel like they have been 'out of the clinical world' prior to entering into their own practices. This is comforting for me because I have always had an interest in a little bit of everything.
