Can students pursue research during their medical education?

Absolutely. Research is a cornerstone of the curriculum. Students have dedicated, protected time for research, often culminating in a scholarly project. They can work with any investigator across the entire Mayo Clinic system, leveraging immense resources and funding opportunities.

How does the curriculum incorporate clinical experience?

Clinical experience begins very early. Students interact with patients within their first few months through the Clinical Apprenticeship course. This early immersion continues throughout the curriculum with pre-clerkship selectives and full-time clerkships in the major medical specialties.

What are "selectives" and "clerkships"?

Selectives are immersive experiences in the pre-clerkship phase that allow students to explore different medical specialties or research areas. Clerkships are the core clinical rotations in the later phase of training, such as Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Psychiatry, and Neurology, where students work directly on patient care teams.
