Faculty
The Family Medicine faculty at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale
includes 20 physicians who also maintain active outpatient practices.
All are American Board of Family Practice certified, with academic
rank ranging from instructor to associate professor. Each faculty
member has completed a family medicine residency. Several of them
have fellowship training in faculty development.
Faculty members are committed to teaching and facilitating the
growth of medical knowledge. You will have direct access to these

quarterly basis to review your academic progress and plan for the
future.
