Visiting Medical Student Clerkship Program

Purpose
To continue your career development through a hands-on senior-year clinical elective and to explore residency training at Mayo Clinic.

Diversity Scholarship
At Mayo Clinic the promotion of cultural diversity and equal opportunity is a guiding principle and goal. The Diversity Scholarship Program encourages the participation of under-represented minorities in Mayo's visiting clerkship and residency programs. Under-represented minorities include, but are not limitied to: African American, Mexican American, Mainland Puerto Rician, American Indian, Alaskan Native, Pacific Islander and members of other racial and ethnic groups considered to be under-represented in medicine and biomedical research. The scholarship award of $1,000 provides financial support for travel and housing expenses. Eligible students must be enrolled in U.S. medical schools.

The Diversity Scholarship is available for clerkships at all three Mayo Clinic practices. During your clerkship, you'll have the opportunity to meet with the program director and residents of the residency program in which you are interested. You'll also meet with the director and program manager for diversity affairs for Mayo Clinic residency programs.

If you are interested in being considered for the Diversity Scholarship, please complete the Equal/Opportunity Action and Scholarships section on the clerkship application.
