Program Description
The Mayo Clinic Barrett Honors College Scholars in Rochester is a residential two-week intensive program that introduces premedical underrepresented minority students from Arizona State University’s honors program to Mayo Medical School. Through this interactive program at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, students will meet students and faculty and experience student life through tours of Mayo Clinic, shadowing, formal lectures, small-group discussions and case studies
Highlights
- Students in the Barrett at Mayo Program in Rochester tour Mayo Clinic’s world-class facilities, including locations not generally open to the public. These include anatomy and procedural laboratories, and clinical areas throughout Saint Marys and Rochester Methodist hospitals.
- Students experience the Mayo Model of Care firsthand while shadowing physicians engaged in research and patient care activities.
- Program participants can follow the routine of a Mayo Medical School student, from the classroom, to the laboratory, to a clinical rotation.
- During case study presentations, Mayo Clinic residents, fellows or consultants share real-life experiences through the case method, which exposes students to actual medical scenarios and strengthens a student’s ability to identify underlying concepts.
- Formal presentations address topics such as:
- Professionalism
- Health Care Systems
- The Mayo Model of Care
- Health Care of the Future
- Small-group sessions engage program participants in lively discussions regarding topics of special interest to premedical students. These sessions are facilitated by Mayo Medical School faculty and medical students.
