Alumni

Map of where graduates of the Psychiatry Residency have gone after graduation.
Alumni of the Psychiatry Residency have gone on to practice, teach, and conduct research across the United States.

The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training. The Psychiatry Residency has been fully accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). 

In the past five years, nearly 75% of our graduates went on to fellowships and the remainder entered clinical practices; including academic and private practice settings. Our goal is to give our residents a solid foundation from which they may choose to step into any of the three arenas represented by the Mayo Clinic logo: academics, research, and clinical practice.

Casey Gilman, M.D.

Hometown: Hampstead, NH
Medical school: San Juan Bautista School of Medicine
About me: I am a proud New Hampshire native and a major Boston sports fan, which I acknowledge and accept is not an attribute that anyone outside New England finds charming. Although I loved where I grew up, I always had a yearning to travel and learn about and from other cultures. I took the first opportunity I could get to move to the warm and beautiful island of Puerto Rico, where I could learn medicine and learn a new language simultaneously. Despite my now thin skin and intolerance to cold, I am thrilled to be at the Mayo Clinic with residents and staff who make you feel like family. My academic interests are broad and include patient advocacy, health disparities, neuropsychiatry, and research. When I’m not at Mayo, I enjoy practicing yoga, critiquing boxed mac n’ cheese, and playing with my two twin pup dogs, Sadie and Boomer.

Pat Osterhaus, M.D.

Medical school: University of Kentucky College of Medicine
About me: I moved around frequently due to my parents' work in the hospitality industry, spending the most time in Kentucky (high school through medical school). This led me to develop an appreciation for the importance of warmth and welcomeness, both with patients and coworkers.

Caleb Porter, M.D.

Caleb Porter, M.D.

Hometown: Orem, UT
Medical school: University of Utah School of Medicine
About me: Coming from a small town in Utah with five different national parks basically in my backyard, I quickly developed a love for nature. Whether it is trail-running, playing sports, rock climbing, kayaking, skiing, or snowshoeing, I am always itching to be outside and soak in the sun and serotonin. When I am not adventuring in the great outdoors, I am probably reading a book, learning a new language, playing dress-up with my kiddo and wife, strumming the guitar, or searching for a checkmate over the board. I love the biopsychosocial approach to medicine and feel that psychiatry is a perfect conduit for its application. My areas of interest include child and adolescent psychiatry, and psychiatric ethics.

Medical school: Wayne State University School of Medicine, Detroit, MI
About me: I am originally from the Detroit suburb of Grosse Pointe and think the Great Lakes are better than the ocean in every way. I moved with my family to Missoula, Montana for my high school years, and then to New York City for college. In a full-circle moment, I made it back to Detroit for medical school. At Mayo, I have appreciated the wide variety of clinical experiences while exploring my particular interest in perinatal psychiatry. Outside of work I enjoy exploring parks and trails on foot or bike and spoiling my senior-aged beagle mix.
