Overview

Mayo Clinic nurse scientists engage in clinical research to improve the health of patients and their caregivers across the life span and to generate knowledge that supports processes to deliver optimal health care.

Nurse scientists engage with Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists from a variety of disciplines as well as with researchers external to Mayo Clinic to generate knowledge across the continuum of care. Mayo Clinic nurse scientists secure intramural and extramural funding to support their research. They actively disseminate their findings through publications and presentations.
