From the chief resident
Welcome to the Radiation Oncology Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota!
After spending four years of medical school and three years of residency here, I have had the good fortune of getting to know Mayo Clinic and our Radiation Oncology department well. What I love most about Mayo Clinic is how natural the collaborative, team-based culture is combined with world-class patient-centered care across all levels. The mission statement of Mayo Clinic is “the needs of the patient come first” and I am proud to have witnessed the truth of this both across all of Mayo Clinic, but also how much it is deeply valued within our department. Our Radiation Oncology department goes above and beyond to provide excellent, high value care to our patients by championing the “clinicians first” mentality, investing in cutting edge technology, expanding our practice based on patient demand, and striving to advance the field of Radiation Oncology through innovative research, education and leadership.
Our Radiation Oncology residency is a perfect example of the core values of Mayo Clinic. Our group of residents are extremely empathetic, bright, driven, and passionate about providing excellent care to our patients. In addition, they are all unique and extremely talented, coming together to form a dynamic, cohesive group. I am proud and honored to call them colleagues and friends that I know will be an important part of my life forever.
Our residency program offers many unique opportunities that help us train to be highly competent and fully capable Radiation Oncologists. In addition, Rochester is a wonderful mid-size city with a great cost of living, numerous restaurants and breweries, and plentiful activities. It is located just 70 miles from the Twin Cities, where you can find more opportunities to attend professional sporting events or concerts, shop, eat, and much more.
Thank you for your interest in our program. We look forward to sharing all about our residency, including its many unique features and perks!
