Resident Life
As a trainee, your physical and mental health is a priority to both Mayo Clinic and the Department of Radiology. Trainees have access to several resources to promote well-being.
- Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center
- Student Services
- Groups on campus
Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center
Trainees have access to the Dan Abraham Healthy Living Center (DAHLC), which is located on both Mayo Clinic campuses (downtown and Saint Marys) in Rochester, Minnesota. This state-of-the-art fitness facility offers basic classes (including free weights, stretching, cardio, and more), drop-in classes, evaluation services, group training, virtual personal training, and virtual wellness coaching.
Membership to the DAHLC is available at a low cost to trainees and their families through payroll deduction.
Student Services
The Student Services office provides resources to promote academic, emotional, social, financial, and physical well-being. Career and academic services include academic advising, peer tutoring, and accommodations for learners with disabilities or health conditions. Mental health counseling, interview practice, and a variety of enrichment sessions on topics like budgeting, resiliency, and stress and burn-out are also available through the Student Services office.
Groups on campus
Several groups on campus help you connect with other fellows and their families, such as the Mayo Fellows Association, the Mayo Families' Connection, and Mayo Employee Resource Groups. These groups help enhance your training by providing and organizing wellness initiatives and social activities.
Workshops for spouses and significant others are also available.
For wellness, I like to blow off some steam at the DAHLC gym on the weekends. It's a great fitness facility that we get access to for a super great cost given the amenities available. And when the weather is nice, it's always fun to go to Quarry Hill to hike, or in the winter, to cross country ski.

I enjoy running on the trails, all four seasons. From the crunch of fresh snow underfoot to the surprise wildlife encounter, there is always something different.
