Meet The Faculty

From chief medical residents

Welcome!

We are so excited to serve as the chief residents of the Internal Medicine Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, for the 2024-2025 academic year! As chief residents, we aim to support and advocate for our residents and continuously strive to create a supportive, caring, and welcoming learning environment.

We get to know our residents well through the formal curriculum, during noon conferences, when staffing the inpatient medical service, and the occasional spontaneous visit to the chief office; the highlight of our day is interacting with our trainees and celebrating their successes.

It is our esteemed privilege to work with such talented and caring individuals - we are consistently inspired by our trainees.

We look forward to meeting as you embark on your career as a physician and would love to invite you to the Mayo family.

Department and faculty

Clinical and research faculty members in the Department of Internal Medicine are committed to teaching and the growth of medical knowledge. Faculty members publish and lecture extensively and are well-regarded in their fields. As a resident, you’ll have direct access to these individuals throughout our training.

Scholarly productivity for department faculty averages more than 2,900 original peer-reviewed publications each year and more than 275 book chapters, editorials and review articles each year. This level of faculty scholarship provides a rich environment for resident research and contributes to a high level of resident productivity.

From the program director

Carrie Thompson, M.D., M.S.This is an exciting time to embark on a career in internal medicine. Your residency training predicts the quality and value with which you will practice medicine throughout your career.

Mayo Clinic values education. Our internal medicine residents learn from world-expert physicians who provide an appropriate balance of autonomy and support and are optimally prepared for a successful next step in their careers.

I'm looking to recruit trainees who are passionate about internal medicine, have a strong work ethic, are patient-centered, and work well on teams. In return, I promise to give you an experience that will live up to all of your expectations!
