Meet The Faculty

Mayo Clinic orthopedic surgeons are recognized nationally and internationally for their surgical technical excellence and innovative abilities to solve both simple and difficult orthopedic problems. 

By collaborating with scientists in Mayo Clinic research facilities for biomechanics and regenerative medicine, our surgeons develop new solutions for patients that improve healing, speed rehabilitation, and improve outcomes.

Few academic institutions can offer you Mayo Clinic's depth of experience and commitment to your success. Mayo's experienced faculty is passionate about teaching and is committed to providing residents and fellows with the training and experience necessary to become skilled clinicians and/or scientists. While Mayo is famous for treating rare medical problems, it also serves the everyday health care needs of patients throughout the local communities and regions surrounding its practices.

From the program director

Jonathan D. Barlow, M.D.Welcome to the Orthopedic Surgery Residency. With more than 100 years of experience, we’ve developed an excellent program where you’ll learn how to be a high-quality, efficient orthopedic surgeon.

Beginning with a focus on early education, this program develops a strong foundation to build on, which is seen with our intern curriculum and the unique basic science curriculum.

The mentorship model allows you to learn from experts the skills you need to be efficient in the clinic and graduated independence in the operating room.

Upon completion of the program, our trainees get into top-tier fellowship programs in all subspecialty areas. With more than 900 alumni, you’ll have ample opportunities for job networking.
