Our curriculum at the Internal Medicine Residency at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix/Scottsdale, Arizona is built on a foundation of clinical excellence, academic rigor, and community engagement. As a resident, you'll benefit from a balanced 4+4 block schedule that pairs four weeks of inpatient work with four weeks of ambulatory training, allowing ample time for electives, research, and professional development.

You'll experience a well-balanced clinical schedule with dedicated clinical training, including four-week inpatient rotations paired with four-week ambulatory blocks. Training takes place across exceptional clinical sites including Mayo Clinic Hospital, Valleywise Health Medical Center (Arizona's county hospital and Level I trauma center), Phoenix VA Health Care System, and Circle the City. You'll also benefit from longitudinal point-of-care ultrasound integration throughout your training.

Procedural and technical skill development includes a dedicated longitudinal POCUS curriculum with hands-on scanning sessions and integrated assessment, as well as didactic and simulation training at our state-of-the-art Simulation Center for emergency management and procedures. Protected time for skill-building and board preparation is also built into the curriculum.

Unique global and community health opportunities include tracks and specialized pathways such as our Health Equity Track. Residents also complete rotations with Circle the City and St. Vincent de Paul Medical and Dental Clinic serving individuals experiencing homelessness and the working uninsured. Additional opportunities include international electives with scholarship funding through the Mayo Global Health Scholars Program and elective rotations with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and Indian Health Service.

Research and scholarly activity are supported through a curriculum built on strong, supportive mentorship. Residents may also participate in the Clinician Investigator Training Program after PGY-1. The curriculum includes 10 paid conference days per year, separate from vacation, with $2,550 per trip to attend national and international meetings, as well as dedicated academic transition days and Personal Half Days woven throughout the year.
