The Internal Medicine Residency has a total of more than 180 residents in training at any point in time. See what a few of them have to say about our program.
“I have been blown away by the amount of resources and support available to both residents and patients. I imagined a system such as Mayo would be a very well-oiled machine, but it has certainly exceeded my expectations. The environment is very conducive for growing and learning as a young physician.”

“Mayo’s Clinician-Investigator Training Program has a track record of success in placing graduates in highly regarded faculty positions. Residents coming here to pursue their research and residency training will find a culture of scholarship and collaboration, well-funded and nationally renowned research mentors, easy availability of clinical data, and helpful core facilities.”

“The quality of the Internal Medicine Residency at Mayo Clinic is unmatched. The program has a well-regarded history as a leader in clinical innovation, research advances and patient-centered care. Even before interviewing, Mayo held a very convincing status among all my program considerations. I came to appreciate this all the more after visiting.”

“There’s a culture at Mayo where asking for help is not only acceptable, but encouraged. This culture provides a balance where I have a healthy amount of autonomy as I care for patients, but also have innumerable resources at my fingertips when I find myself in a situation where I need assistance.”

“What surprised me about Mayo initially, and what continues to surprise me every day, is how such a highly reputable academic institution can also be so friendly. The collegiality at Mayo is unparalleled, and coming to work every day is always a pleasure.”

“I am continually surprised by how well I am treated as a resident. I remember when I interviewed thinking how unique it was that the program gave residents the same benefits they gave staff when traveling to conferences. It really showed how they treat everyone here as equals.”

“I have multiple levels of support as a female physician — from my wonderful female colleagues and senior residents, mentors in outpatient clinic, and consultants I have worked with during rotations. It’s been great to see many female physicians in leadership positions here. They have been very open to sharing their career paths with us.”
Medical school: University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA
“I am on the Internal Medicine Residency Council, where we meet to discuss issues and concerns facing the program. A lot of that discussion ties into trainee wellness. We talk about everything from food options at noon conferences, work-life balance on certain rotations, ways to improve trainee schedules to allow flexibility, to pet therapy time for trainees, and extracurricular activities.”
