Academic Partners

Mayo School of Health Sciences (MSHS) uses academic partnerships to provide innovative education programs that best serve the needs of health-care employers and students.

Today, MSHS partners with many higher education institutions. (These institutions are identified within the program descriptions.)

Our academic partnerships capitalize on the strengths of Mayo Clinic and these outstanding academic institutions to provide you with the highest-quality education.

While MSHS oversees some programs in their entirety, others are jointly sponsored and taught by MSHS in partnership with a college or university. In addition, some programs are internships, externships and preceptorships, wherein students come to Mayo to complete the clinical training portion of their education.

This collaborative approach to teaching and learning contributes to academic excellence and consistency and, ultimately, helps to ensure the highest-quality patient care. The health sciences professionals who emerge from MSHS partnership programs are superbly trained to provide quality compassionate care in today's dynamic health-care environment.
