Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science Jacksonville Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a Mayo Clinic-affiliated Child Neurology Residency delivered through a unique inter-institutional model: pediatric neurology training occurs at Nemours Children's Health and Wolfson Children's Hospital in Jacksonville, while adult neurology exposure is provided at Mayo Clinic's Florida campus, embedding residents in a large academic ecosystem that includes 18 adult neurology residents, rotating Minnesota-campus residents, 45 pediatric residents, and numerous subspecialty fellows. Most trainees complete the full five-year continuum (pediatrics plus child neurology) at the Jacksonville pediatric campuses via an integrated pathway from the University of Florida College of Medicine-Jacksonville pediatric residency, reflecting a structured, longitudinal pipeline rather than a stand-alone match. The program explicitly accommodates Neuroscience M.D.-Ph.D. candidates entering after one year of pediatrics (PGY-3 level, ABPN-approved), signaling infrastructure for physician-scientist trajectories alongside a track for residents pursuing predominantly clinical or academic child neurology practice. Only three positions are offered annually, producing a small, tightly integrated cohort within Mayo's broader tertiary/quaternary academic environment.
