Here at Mayo Clinic, the possibilities are endless,
and we want to provide you with an experience that will launch you into a productive
and fulfilling career in pediatric infectious diseases.
Mayo Clinic was founded by Dr. Will and Charlie Mayo who said
“There are two objects of medical education:
To heal the sick,
and to advance the science.”
Mayo Clinic continues this tradition,
through our three shields:
patient care, education, and research.
Mayo Clinic Children’s Center includes more than 200
pediatric and adolescent medical providers
specializing in more than 40 areas of practice,
with a full complement of nationally-recognized pediatric subspecialties.
Through teamwork and collaboration,
the members of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases care for children
and adolescents with a wide variety of medical and surgical conditions,
from Rochester, Minnesota,
the US,
and around the world.
Our inpatient pediatric infectious diseases consult service
provides care across a variety of settings.
In our active and robust outpatient clinic,
we provide coordinated multidisciplinary appointment itineraries for patients,
along with a dedicated pediatric phlebotomy lab
and radiology services on site.
Our team works closely with our antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist
and dedicated pediatric infectious diseases nurse.
As infectious disease physicians,
we work closely with our world-class clinical microbiology laboratory,
led by internationally-recognized experts,
who are invaluable resources for patient care
The Division of Clinical Microbiology
performs over 3 million tests each year from patients around the world.
Given our wide reach,
we see a broad spectrum of diseases and pathogens,
many of which you may never see anywhere else.
Your academic education is delivered in many forms,
with lectures,
conferences,
multidisciplinary bedside rounds,
journal clubs,
board review sessions,
and more.
You will also be involved in teaching medical students and pediatric residents,
and participate in a specialized teaching curriculum
to enhance your own clinical teaching skills.
Importantly, you will have designated time for specialized training,
including transplant and immunocompromised hosts,
HIV,
travel clinic,
public health,
infection control,
disaster preparedness,
antimicrobial stewardship,
immunology,
and microbiology.
Through world-class, innovative research,
Mayo Clinic seeks to better understand illness,
develop new treatments,
and enhance health.
Trainees can develop their knowledge and skills in basic, clinical and translational research
through a variety of programs in the Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences
in combination with a mentored research experience.
You may also choose to work in our dedicated Pediatric Infectious Disease Laboratory
funded through the NIH.
Many trainees successfully complete the requirements for a
Certificate or Master’s Degree in Clinical and Translational Science
during their fellowship training,
the cost of which is covered by the program.
Trainees can also learn techniques and strategies
to improve health care through the
Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation
and the Mayo Clinic Quality Academy.
Your wellness is important to us too.
Life outside of medicine is essential,
so we offer flexible scheduling
and a program that understands that you practice best when you feel your best.
Consistently ranked one of the most livable cities in the US,
Rochester has an easy commute, affordable housing,
excellent schools, great restaurants,
fun things to do, and all 4 seasons.
So whether you’re from the big city,
or from the quiet countryside,
Rochester has something for everyone.
Mayo Clinic hopes to welcome you as our newest Pediatric Infectious Disease fellow,
where together we will follow our primary values of putting the needs of the patient first,
healing the sick,
and advancing the science.
We hope to see you soon.
