The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training. Some of our graduates share why they chose Mayo Clinic for their training and what it was like living in Jacksonville, Florida.

These were the nicest people in medicine. I had access to the most interesting cases. The resources and support allowed me to put my patients first. I'm so happy I chose this Mayo Clinic family!

Moving from a big city, I was hesitant about Jacksonville. After living here during residency and fellowship, I now call it my second home. The city offers multi-national restaurants, amazing theaters, pro-sports teams, outdoor activities, and more that residents enjoy daily. There's a perfect mix of small-town and big-city (without bad traffic) with a variety of people and neighborhoods for every lifestyle. Jacksonville has something for everyone!

Mayo's three shields each symbolize its core principles: patient care, research, and education. These are not just a part of Mayo’s legacy but represent the reality of how they deliver healthcare. Mayo continues to live by its guiding principle, 'The needs of the patient come first.' I learned from world leaders who treated me as an equal and truly cared about my own personal success.

2021 graduate; Medical school: University of Oklahoma College of Medicine; Residency: Tulsa School of Community Medicine, Internal Medicine
On the weekends, I went to the beach to relax since it was so close and easily accessible. There were plenty of fun little shops along the beach and very good restaurants all in the same vicinity. St. Augustine is about a 30-minute drive for a weekend trip to learn history and visit monuments. The downtown area offers tours and lots of fun activities for all ages.
