There are three academic tracks to choose from:

Each academic track is designed to have appropriate coursework and mentorship to provide training, projects, and practical experience to jumpstart an academic career in General Internal Medicine or Family Medicine.
My experience in the program has been awesome. Mayo Clinic really places the patient’s needs first, which is portrayed through every interaction in providing superb patient education and treatment.
