Class of 2026

Cyra Cottrell, M.D.

Cyra Cottrell, M.D.

Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA

Medical school: University of Florida College of Medicine, Gainsville, FL

Residency: Morehouse School of Medicine, Atlanta, GA

Things I do in my free time: As a Pittsburgh native and a former Division 1 athlete, I grew up loving to play and watch sports, which continues today (Go Steelers, Go Gators!) I’m a big fan of water sports, fishing, and being outdoors in general. I love traveling and taking my son and dog on adventures. I enjoy live music and singing (currently working on learning to play the guitar.) My Italian heritage makes me passionate about good food and wine!

Why Mayo: I was aware of the outstanding reputation Mayo Clinic has in the healthcare field, but I didn’t realize just how special Mayo Clinic was until my interview day. The fellows and staff were friendly, inviting, and easy to talk to. You would never guess by how humble they are that they're a part of the best hospital in the country. During my interview day, I kept asking myself, “Could this place get any better?” It was an effortless fit. I’ve always been driven by a passion to serve my patients, and Mayo has all the resources to support me to be the most competent, educated, and empathetic provider possible. Mayo’s mission identically parallels my own, which made selecting Mayo Clinic for fellowship a very easy decision. 

Class of 2027

	  Erin Hupy, M.D.

Erin Hupy, M.D.

Hometown: Overland Park, KS

Things I do in my free time: I love to cook, take care of my garden and houseplants, clean/organize, and drink coffee!

Why Mayo: I chose this program because of its supportive learning environment, strong faculty mentorship, and exposure to comprehensive training. I am thrilled to join the Mayo team!

Jack Maxwell IV, M.D.

Jack Maxwell IV, M.D.

Hometown: Memphis, TN

Things I do in my free time: I love to travel and hike as many trails as I can. I've been privileged to visit many countries in Europe and Asia and hope to expand my travel horizons to other continents. I especially enjoy hiking in places nobody hears as much about. You'll otherwise see me running and relaxing in steam rooms after work. I'm always with espresso in my hands!

Why Mayo: The Mayo Clinic has been my dream since I was young! My grandfather's residency was at the Mayo Clinic, and I always knew it was the best in the world. When I was fortunate to be selected to interview, I found the people of Mayo to be as engaging and warm as they were leaders in the field. Every conversation centered on how to help patients, and I knew contributing to the success of this team would be my biggest and most rewarding challenge. I cannot wait to expand my skills and knowledge base with all that Mayo Clinic has to offer to become an amazing REI physician.

Class of 2028

Danielle Aase, M.D.

Hometown: Woodbury, MN

Medical School: University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN

Residency: Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education, Rochester, MN

Things I do in my free time: Cycling, hiking, reading, and eating peanut butter.

Why Mayo: So many reasons! I completed my residency at Mayo and experienced firsthand not only the exceptional training that we receive here, but also the strong emphasis on patient-centered care. Everyone I’ve worked with and interacted with truly embodies the spirit of putting the needs of the patient first, which is incredibly important to me. The REI program provides comprehensive training not only in infertility but also in complex surgical cases. Additionally, the research opportunities and mentorship from faculty is excellent. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to continue my training at Mayo!
