Mentorship System
Beginning in September of the intern year, we undergo a process to identify and best-fit mentors in residents’ chosen specialties. The goal is to begin some scholarly work to help you be successful in securing an excellent fellowship, as well as to build a skill set needed for lifelong scholarly engagement.
Faculty are annually asked to submit proposals, then residents will review the proposals and meet with faculty of their choice. Trainees would then select their own mentors.
Adviser System
Many residents need time, sometimes up to a year or two, to decide on career plans. For those residents, there is a faculty advisor system with quarterly reviews. Undecided residents have opportunity for a mentor relationship with general medicine or other faculty in order to meet their scholarly activity requirement.
Assistance in Securing Fellowships
The residency has two workshops every year devoted to career planning and fellowship application. In addition, there are mock interviews and a session on curriculum vitae preparation.
Fellowship Opportunities
There are currently eight accredited and two unaccredited internal medicine subspecialty fellowships on the Mayo Clinic Florida campus, with plans for additional growth in coming years. In addition, many of our graduates have secured fellowships at Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
