Didactic Training
Clinical conferences, formal courses, seminars, small discussion groups, journal clubs and one-on-one instruction are all an integral part of the residency.
Research Training
All of Mayo's diagnostic radiology residents are required to present a seminar project during the second year of their residency. Two additional options are available if you would like more in-depth research experience:
Evaluation
To ensure that you acquire adequate knowledge and develop your technical skills, your performance will be monitored carefully during the course of your residency. You will be evaluated formally by your supervising faculty member after each clinical rotation. In addition, you will regularly evaluate the faculty to ensure that your educational needs are being met.
Call Frequency
Your call schedule will vary by individual rotation. Mayo Clinic follows the recommendations of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).
Teaching Opportunities
You will have the opportunity to teach Mayo Medical School students and visiting students from other medical schools through daily clinical work and formal didactic lectures.
