 Periodic meetings with faculty members and the program directors are scheduled to discuss the achievement of each resident’s professional goals. Mayo Clinic recruits many of its faculty from its own training programs. Upon successful completion of the Internal Medicine Residency Program, career opportunities may be available at Mayo Clinic Rochester, the regional Mayo Health System, Mayo Clinic Jacksonville or Mayo Clinic Arizona.
Graduate Outcomes
The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training. The Mayo residency program has been fully accredited by the ACGME with a 5-year (the maximum) accreditation cycle. Every resident who has successfully completed Mayo’s Internal Medicine Residency Program has been eligible for American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) certification.
Ninety-nine percent of Mayo’s internal medicine residents have passed the ABIM examinations on their first attempt, and the average score has been consistently in the upper decile nationally. Mayo Clinic Rochester enjoys one of the highest board pass rates of any internal medicine residency program in the country.
Two-thirds of Mayo’s graduates have historically entered subspecialty training. Graduates pursuing subspecialty careers will find that Mayo’s reputation opens the door to opportunities for fellowship training at the most prestigious and competitive programs.

Fellowships
At the conclusion of one’s Internal Medicine Residency training, an individual may wish to continue graduate medical education training within the Mayo School of Graduate Medical Education. If so, a number of fellowships are available on a competitive basis.
General Medicine Fellowships
Mayo pioneered the concept of “specializing” in general internal medicine after completing a three-year internal medicine residency program. Tracks are designed for internists whose career goals include both academic and primary care general internal medicine.
Currently available tracks include:
- Geriatrics
- Inpatient Internal Medicine (Hospitalist track)
- Women’s Health
- Academic General Internal Medicine
The curriculum will be customized to suit individual needs and will include these experiences:
- General internal medicine research
- Graduate course work in the intellectual disciplines of internal medicine (e.g. clinical epidemiology, evidence-based medicine)
- Junior faculty appointments in hospitals and continuity clinics
- Electives outside of internal medicine (e.g. gynecology, orthopedics, dermatology)
- Primary care ambulatory practice
- Research
Subspecialty Fellowships
Mayo also offers clinical and academic fellowships in many subspecialties. Most fellowships are three to four years in duration and include one year of laboratory-based research. For more information, see: http://www.mayo.edu/msgme/internalmed-programs.html
