"Mayo Clinic played a pivotal role in shaping my professional development. It offered a rare opportunity to work closely with a diverse group of physician mentors whose guidance proved invaluable. I had the privilege of caring for patients with rare conditions, engaging in in-depth discussions with consultants about these diseases, and then continuing those conversations over coffee — often focused on my own career goals. What made this experience especially meaningful was having mentors who genuinely cared about my aspirations and offered unwavering support. These interactions helped me identify a career path in medicine that aligns not only with my professional goals but also with my personal values. Thanks to my experience and mentors at Mayo Clinic, I’ve found a direction in medicine that feels both fulfilling and sustainable for the long term."

“When I chose Mayo Clinic for residency, I expected a strong foundation in internal medicine — and it certainly delivered. But what I gained went far beyond clinical training. The program places a strong emphasis on exploring subspecialties alongside leaders in the field, which allowed me to build a solid knowledge base while deepening my interest in gastroenterology. In research, my mentors helped me find projects aligned with my passions and provided generous support, including travel funding and statistical guidance. By the end of residency, I was struck by how many of my co-residents had already begun carving out areas of expertise as future leaders in medicine. A residency at Mayo isn’t just training; it’s the beginning of a lifelong journey, powered by mentorship and support that serve as a launchpad for a meaningful and impactful career."
