Why did you chose Mayo Clinic for your fellowship? I chose Mayo Clinic because of the high volume of cases and the diversity from which you can learn. Every new case is a puzzle to resolve, from bread and butter to challenging cases. Mayo offers high-quality and innovative technology, proving not only better and accurate diagnoses but also unique opportunities for trainees. Lastly, the culture and commitment to top-notch education create a warm and candid environment that makes you feel at home the moment you step in the room.
