Application
The Department of Internal Medicine in Rochester offers 45 categorical positions, three clinician investigator positions, and 24 preliminary positions each year. These programs have been carefully designed to maximize use of Mayo's educational resources and to minimize service responsibilities. A limited number of categorical positions are available at the PGY-2 level.
All applications must be made through the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS).
Programs include:
- Categorical Internal Medicine Residency (NRMP code 1328140C0)
- Clinician Investigator Training Program (NRMP code 1328140C1)
- Preliminary Internal Medicine Residency Program (NRMP code 1328140P0)
Paper applications will not be accepted. USMLE scores must be provided with the application in order to be considered. Applications for each academic year, which begins in July, should be submitted by December 15 of the previous year.
Personal interviews are by invitation only and are based on the applicant's academic performance, USMLE scores, letters of recommendation, and other accomplishments as detailed in the ERAS application. Interviews are conducted on selected dates between mid-November and the last week of January. If selected for an interview, applicants will be notified by e-mail or letter. We regret that we are unable to provide applicants with a status report regarding their application or selection for interview.
Interview dates begin in November and extend through January.

Admission
- Appointments at Mayo Clinic Rochester normally begin during the last week of June, and include a 2-week orientation.
- International medical graduates must be certified by the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG). Information about certification and visa sponsorship is available from:
ECFMG

Philadelphia, PA 19104-2685
USA
- International medical graduates are sponsored on J-1 visas only. Mayo considers a few select candidates for H-1b visas. In order to be considered for an H-1b visa, applicants must have completed USMLE Step 3 prior to December 31, six months prior to beginning residency training in June/July.
- A preadmission physical exam and current immunization record are required as a condition of appointment.
- BLS/ACLS Certification
Licensure
- Residents enrolled in Rochester-based programs who are not eligible for licensure must be registered with the Minnesota State Licensing Board. Residents eligible for licensure must obtain and maintain a Minnesota medical license.
- Mayo reimburses the licensure application fee.
Clinician Investigator Training Program Visa Information
Individuals requiring J or H visa classification are eligible to participate in the Clinician Investigator Training Program (CITP). The J and H visa classifications, however, have certain limitations. The Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates (ECFMG) cannot provide J-1 visa sponsorship for individuals enrolled in Mayo's CITP unless the clinician investigator training can be accommodated within the length of time of an ACGME-accredited (Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education) residency or fellowship program. No residency and fellowship programs can accommodate the two-year CITP track within the ACGME-accredited length.
Individuals wishing to pursue residency, fellowship and clinician investigator training in H-1B classification must have passed USMLE Steps 1, 2 and 3 when they are appointed to Mayo's program. An individual can hold H classification for usually a total maximum stay of six years in the United States. Anyone appointed to the CITP must be able to complete his or her residency, fellowship and clinician investigator training within six years. Prior time in H classification (i.e. employment, research, dependent status) is counted in the six-year time allotment. Individuals requiring H-1B classification will not be appointed if they do not meet the above requirements.
In summary, the CITP cannot accommodate the J-1 visa and, at six years duration, the H-1B visa can be accommodated in very few of the IM subspecialties. Information about the Clinician Investigator Training Program is available on the Career Development/Additional Training page.
