Our residents come from dental schools around the U.S. and outside the country. See what a few of them have to say about our program:
What have you liked about Mayo Clinic since you have been here?
“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.”
