Program Description
The Mayo School of Health Sciences (MSHS) at Mayo Clinic in Arizona
offers diverse and challenging clinical experiences to nursing students
enrolled in Mayo Clinic-affiliated nursing programs.
Over the years, nursing education at Mayo Clinic has evolved from
a practical need for the best nursing care for Mayo patients. Consequently,
the organization has played an integral role in providing opportunities
for nursing education since its earliest days. Mayo’s first
allied health professional – Edith Graham Mayo, wife of Mayo
founder Dr. Charles Mayo – was trained as a nurse anesthetist
in 1889.
Today, nursing undergraduate programs are offered at local and
regional affiliated colleges and universities, with Mayo Clinic
in Arizona providing vital clinical experiences as students advance
in their education. Mayo Clinic does not offer undergraduate nursing
degree programs, but rather collaborates with academic partners
to provide comprehensive educational opportunities.
Clinical experiences are arranged between the student’s school
and the program director for the MSHS Nursing Clinical Education.
They are co-facilitated by Mayo Clinic professional nursing staff
and affiliated nursing faculty. These educational experiences provide
nursing students opportunities to work alongside other professionals
in a multidisciplinary health-care environment.
At Mayo Clinic, you will observe and experience patient care delivery
in a comprehensive health-care center that offers:
- A caring, collaborative environment
- State-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and
research facilities
- A large, diverse patient population
- An environment based on a team approach and
with a commitment to mutual respect

Facilities
Mayo Clinic in Arizona opened in 1987 as a premiere academic medical center in the southwestern United States, where advanced programs in medical research and education support the highest-quality patient care.
Scottsdale Campus is centered around a beautiful five-story outpatient clinic. This modern facility contains 240 exam rooms, an outpatient surgery center equipped for general anesthesia, a full-service laboratory, a pharmacy, a patient-education library, an endoscopy suite and a 188-seat auditorium for patient, staff and student education programs. Services in more than 66 medical and surgical disciplines are provided, including programs in cancer treatment and organ transplantation.
The Scottsdale Campus offers excellent education facilities, including classrooms, lecture halls, an extensive library and computer lab. The Samuel C. Johnson Research Center, a 75,000-square-foot building, houses scientists, trainees and students focused on molecular genetics, molecular immunology, molecular and cell biology, molecular chemistry and surgical research.
On the Phoenix Campus, the state-of-the-art 205-bed Mayo Clinic Hospital, which opened in 1998, is the first hospital entirely designed and built by Mayo. It has been recognized as "the Best Hospital in Phoenix" several times by Phoenix magazine.
Both Mayo Clinic’s outpatient and inpatient facilities provide
the training areas for the Nursing Clinical Education Program. In
some cases, students also have access to community-based educational
opportunities with Mayo Clinic-based programs and facilities.
Mayo Clinic's state-of-the-art diagnostic, therapeutic and research
facilities enhance student clinical experiences and the ability
for clinical preceptors to provide high-quality clinical education
experiences.

your nursing degree from that college or university.

Your schedule for Nursing Clinical Education at Mayo Clinic in Arizona
is determined by your program and school requirements. Students
