Once you have experienced the Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship, you may be interested in
obtaining your graduate degree at Mayo Clinic. If so, check out Mayo Graduate School (MGS).
Mayo Graduate School offers a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences through a curriculum that emphasizes the
inter-relatedness of the traditional basic science disciplines. As a Mayo graduate student, you can
select from the following areas of specialization for your Ph.D. training:
Mayo Graduate School provides stipends and full-tuition scholarships for all Ph.D. and M.D.-Ph.D.
students. This means you have exceptional flexibility in choosing research mentors. And, because
Mayo's core research facilities are shared among investigators, you have access to advanced
technology no matter where your interests take you.
Mayo Graduate School and Mayo Medical School administer our Ph.D. and M.D. degree programs,
respectively. They jointly offer a M.D.-Ph.D. Program for students who are interested in careers as
clinician-investigators.
Research at Mayo Clinic
More than 900 biomedical scientists and physicians are engaged in ongoing research throughout Mayo
Clinic. As members of Mayo's basic science and clinical departments, they conduct research and/or
maintain a clinical practice in addition to teaching. This means you'll learn from people who are
active practitioners in your field of study -- and who understand the challenges you'll face. As a
MGS student you'll have ready access to these individuals as well as hundreds of additional
physicians and other medical professionals. Many are leaders in their fields. Approximately 1,100
residents and 300 research fellows also are part of Mayo's academic community.
Mayo Clinic is internationally recognized for investigative programs in several areas of basic science
and clinical research. An annual budget of nearly $296 million supports these efforts. Our research
is distinguished by highly collaborative interactions among investigators studying basic science and
those focused on research applications to clinical problems.
Faculty research interests can be found on other pages within this site which describe our
Ph.D. Programs.
Research at Mayo Clinic Jacksonville focuses on various aspects of Alzheimer's disease and its
treatment. At Mayo Clinic Arizona, scientists are studying aspects of cellular communication and
development using molecular genetic, transgenic and cell biology techniques. All three campuses share
resources and information through a satellite video communications network.
