Alumni Anecdotes

Dr. L. Emmerson Ward

Membership in Mayo Clinic Alumni Association has been helpful to me in keeping in touch with Mayo colleagues and friends and their values. It is a valuable resource for maintaining friendships and keeping abreast of their personal professional accomplishments.

Dr. Margaret F. Longo

I am proud and appreciative to have trained at Mayo Clinic and through my participation in the Mayo Clinic Alumni Association I have been able to remain in touch and retain friendships with classmates, educators as well as Mayo Clinic itself! This professional fellowship we all enjoy through the Association is truly is truly a remarkable and one that has sustained me for many years and continues to do so.

Dr. John P. Creasman

We are all bombarded with requests for our allegiance, time and resources. It is logical, since most of us have done post-graduate work in several institutions, that we have a number of places contacting us on a regular basis. It also seems appropriate that one would respond positively to those institutions that had the greatest influence on our professional, social and emotional well-being. That is why I stay connected to my roots through Mayo Clinic Alumni Association.

Dr. David K. Teegarden

I am particularly proud that Mayo Clinic remains strongly committed to advancing medical science and to enhancing the education of clinicians long after the completion of their formal training. I am honored to be a member of the Mayo Clinic Alumni Association.

Dr. David R. Baines

Coming from a small Indian reservation in southeast Alaska, I had many barriers to being successful in a medical career. Mayo did a wonderful job of enabling me to succeed. What an honor to be a Mayo-trained physician. Mayo Clinic Alumni Association allows me to stay connected to Mayo and its traditions of excellence and to support Mayo as it continues to provide the best care and train the next generation of healers.

Dr. Robert J. Spinner

Participation in Mayo Clinic Alumni Association provides me with the opportunity to maintain, rekindle and develop personal and professional relationships with colleagues across the world. Yearly meetings are like holiday gatherings with friends (new or old) and family for good cheer and good times.
