What attracted you to Mayo Clinic for fellowship training?
Thinking about which fellowship program to attend, the most important factors for me were the depth of training, the environment of training, and the distance from my family. Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, was the winner in all three of these areas and has been a wonderful place to train.
The variety and quantity of both common and rare cases are truly unique to Mayo Clinic. The attending physicians, nursing staff, and techs are excellent and are all wonderful to work with, to the point where training here feels like being with a second family. Finally, being closer to my parents who live in Tampa was a huge plus!
