Getting Started

Before you start residency or fellowship training, you'll take part in an orientation program that will introduce you to Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education (MCSGME).

We look forward to meeting you and feel confident that the training you will receive will be enjoyable and rewarding. Before your arrival, there are several tasks that need to be completed.

Trainees requiring a visa

Trainees who will require a visa in order to start their training program will need to contact the Mayo Clinic Legal Department when they receive their appointment letter to start their visa process. Trainees will not be able to start their training program unless they have a current visa in place at the time of orientation.
