A true mentorship model allows residents to build trust with consultants. This allows residents have the opportunity for increased autonomy and hands-on experience. Mayo also has resources unlike any other institution which allows residents to focus on education, patient care, and self-growth.

This program gives great experience in all major aspects of oral and maxillofacial surgery and being a part of Mayo Clinic provides a large volume of unique and complex cases. Additionally, the consultants, residents, and all members of the OMS team create an inclusive environment that not only facilitates growth as a clinician and surgeon but is also fun to work in.

There’s never a shortage of things I can learn, which is exactly what I wanted from a residency. Because of the patient pool, I’ve gotten exposure to almost every oral pathology we had talked about back in dental school and being able to correlate the clinical profile to the didactics is a great learning experience.

I love the medical education we receive here. The instructors go above and beyond to make sure we not only understand the material but can apply it to our specialty. We get to see live what others read about in textbooks, an experience you can only gain from a world-class institution.

One of the first things I noticed when I first visited Mayo was the culture of respect and collaboration. Everyone I met took an interest in my education, even as an extern. The variety and volume of cases was and is impressive to me. But the surgical strengths of this program would feel empty if it were not for the kindness, decency, and commitment to patient care that I’ve seen at Mayo. I’ve come to appreciate this even more as I’ve progressed in my training.
