Positions

One categorical position is available on a competitive basis each year in the Neurologic Surgical Residency at Mayo Clinic's campus in Phoenix, Arizona. Residents are matched through the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP) process.

Timeline

Applicants considered for an appointment may be invited to a virtual interview with the program director, faculty, and residents. Three interviews are conducted between November through January each year.   

Qualifications

Medical students in their final year are eligible to apply to the Neurologic Surgery Residency. The program encourages students in their final year of medical school to apply for a clerkship rotation, which is four weeks in length, offered through the Visiting Medical Student Clerkship Program within Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education. This clerkship provides an opportunity to become familiar with the Department of Neurologic Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Arizona and allows the neurosurgery faculty to get to know the senior medical students in a more meaningful way. Applicants unable to spend time in Phoenix, Arizona, for a clerkship can still apply and be highly considered for a position in residency.
