Why did you choose Mayo Clinic for your fellowship? I chose Mayo Clinic because of its outstanding reputation in education and healthcare, especially in laboratory medicine, as well as its commitment to excellence in patient care, education, and research. During the interview process, I was impressed by the welcoming culture, collaborative environment, and the faculty's dedication to teaching and mentorship. The opportunity to train with experts while caring for patients with a diverse range of complex coagulation disorders made Mayo Clinic the ideal place for my fellowship.
