From the Program Director W elcome to the Internal Medicine Residency Program of the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine. As you visit our Web pages, we hope you will become better acquainted with the Mayo Medical Center and the Internal Medicine Residency Program. Mayo Medical Center is not only a place of high technology and medical advances, but an institution that prides itself on the compassionate care it provides to patients. There are no private patients or private attendings at Mayo. All patients are cared for by a team of residents and students and a single attending physician.
Residents are responsible for all aspects of patient care.
The Residency Program in Internal Medicine is tailored to meet the requirements of excellent, well-rounded training in General Internal Medicine with adequate exposure to subspecialty fields. As a member of the Internal Medicine Residency Program you will come to recognize the true commitment that stands behind these three areas. Your responsibilities go beyond providing the best care to each patient. You have an obligation and an expectation for learning and scholarly activity. We hope that, by understanding the values and traditions of the institution, you will enrich not only your residency, but your professional career thereafter.
