This is an exciting time to embark on a career in internal medicine. Genomics and proteomics are revolutionizing our approach to disease and health maintenance. A focus on evidence-based medicine allows us to critically appraise diagnostic and treatment options. Meanwhile, it has never been more important to reflect on our ability to provide cost-effective care to an aging population.
Residency Overview
The primary goal of the Mayo Clinic Internal Medicine Residency Program is to provide you with the training, resources and experience to thrive in any of the disciplines that are open to well-trained internists. Our goal is to train leaders in internal medicine who are setting new standards in patient care and in scientific investigation. We take particular pride in preparing you to be change agents within the field who, through inquiry or practice improvement, are prepared to advance the science and create the healthcare system of the future. Many are attracted to our program because of the emphasis placed on preparing you to be educators of your patients and your peers within the healthcare community. You will find many opportunities by virtue of your training at Mayo Clinic.
