The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training. See what some of our graduates have to say about their experience in the Vascular Surgery Integrated Residency at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Is there anything that surprised you about Mayo Clinic?
"The most surprising thing here was how enthusiastic everyone was to share knowledge and information. There were absolutely no barriers to pursuing research or learning, and the only thing that limited what I could do was me. It was also much more multicultural than I had imagined, and it is awesome to meet people from so many different countries!"
Having rotated at Mayo Clinic as a visiting medical student, how did that experience shape your decision about your choice for residency?
"After doing multiple sub-internships I was amazed by the volume and complexity of cases at Mayo Clinic, and the autonomy afforded to the residents and fellows. It was truly unlike anywhere else I had seen. There are a very limited number of training programs in the country with a good balance of high volume open intra-abdominal and complex endovascular cases. The amount of ancillary support (nursing, midlevel providers, etc.) and coordinated patient care was also remarkable."
