Diversity and Inclusion

We endeavor to create and maintain a diverse, vibrant, collaborative, learner-centered community which promotes the growth of future colleagues and the advancement of our field. We are all responsible to and for our community which in turn provides a solid clinical foundation and encourages individual development, while fostering an environment of scholarly inquisitiveness, commitment to excellence, and creativity. 

We strongly encourage all applicants to apply to our program, including those who are underrepresented in medicine.

Our faculty includes individuals from diverse cultural and clinical training backgrounds. Our program values facilitating personally and professionally supportive and affirming relationships between residents and faculty.

As a trainee, you'll have the opportunity to be a part of:

  • Mayo Employee Resource Groups (MERGs) — employee-led groups centered around different dimensions of diversity to promote belonging, increase cultural awareness, and foster an environment of respect and inclusivity. Any Mayo Clinic employee can join a group of interest and choose their level of involvement.
  • The OUTList, an internal resource created by the LGBTI MERG that promotes community, visibility, and mentoring among Mayo's faculty, staff, and trainees by identifying LGBTI mentors within Mayo Clinic interested in being a resource for others. All Mayo employees are welcome to contact individuals on the OUTList for advice and networking.
  • The Mayo Clinic Trainee Diversity & Inclusion Committee, a group that recruits and mentors and all applicants, including those from underrepresented backgrounds in medicine.
