Residencies and fellowships (allied health)

Our allied health residencies and fellowships can be applied for following completion of a primary educational program in a health science field and have a predominantly clinical focus and a strong service component. Most programs are a year, participation is usually full-time, and trainees typically receive a stipend.

Clinical rotations and internships

We offer clinical rotations and internships in a number of specialties. Clinical rotations are programs in which students studying for a professional degree at an affiliated educational institution are selected to complete a portion of their education at Mayo Clinic. Internships are similar programs that are designed to enhance the skills of allied health students and learners but are not a required part of their formal curriculum.
