Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science Jacksonville Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an academic, tertiary/quaternary anesthesiology program embedded in Mayo Clinic's Jacksonville campus, distinguished by high-volume liver, heart, and lung transplant anesthesia and a 2:1 faculty-to-resident ratio that supports individualized, small-cohort training (six positions per year). The curriculum builds from broad CA-1 subspecialty exposure toward CA-3 independence, with named transplant electives, off-campus rotations (Wolfson's Children's, UF Health Shands, Wake Forest for obstetric anesthesia), and a mandatory academic project alongside up to six months of protected CA-3 research time. Career outcomes skew heavily toward subspecialty fellowship (over half pursue fellowship, most commonly pain medicine, but also cardiac, critical care, OB, and peds at top programs), with a smaller cohort entering community/private practice or Mayo faculty positions. The program values clinical rigor and academic productivity within a structured, mentorship-driven advancement model (CA-3s formally teach CA-1s), consistent with a pipeline feeding both Mayo's internal fellowships and outside academic fellowship programs.
