Advisers
Every resident is assigned faculty advisers who can provide comprehensive educational advice and personal support. The advisers serve as personal mentors throughout the residency. We also have a big-brother/ big-sister program that allows established residents to assist incoming residents with their transition to Rochester and to the Mayo Clinic.
Visiting Professors
The Department of Internal Medicine invites more than 60 prominent academic faculty members to visit Mayo Clinic Rochester each year. They present their work at Medical Grand Rounds, at other conferences, and participate in hospital rounds. In addition, internal medicine residents host a visiting professor of their choice annually. Residents are encouraged to take full advantage of these learning opportunities.
