Alumni

The most important indicator of the success of a training program is found in the outcomes of the graduates upon completion of their training.

Mayo Clinic residents are highly successful in obtaining the fellowships and jobs of their choice after graduation. Historically, two-thirds of the graduates from Mayo Clinic's campus in Florida have entered subspecialty training, and 100% have matched to fellowships of their choice over the last seven years.
