Clinical and translational science key to Mayo Clinic's mission

Clinical and translational science has been a foundational component of Mayo Clinic since it emerged from the Mayo brothers' medical practice in the late 1800s. Research and discovery are not an end but a means to accomplish Mayo's primary mission — inspiring hope and promoting health through integrated clinical practice, education and research — by recognizing that patient care and human health are optimized by a culture of inquiry applied to every aspect of clinical practice.
