Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science Jacksonville Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a tertiary/quaternary academic neurology residency embedded within Mayo Clinic's Jacksonville campus, combining "community practice in an academic setting" with a complex, referral-based patient population including transplant and rare-disease cases. The four-year curriculum (with a Mayo-only preliminary internal medicine PGY-1) offers extensive elective time (8.5 blocks) spanning nearly every neurology subspecialty, full-time subspecialist faculty, and dedicated rotations in clinical neurophysiology, epilepsy monitoring, neurocritical care, and pediatric neurology through formal affiliations with Nemours and Wolfson Children's Hospital. Graduate outcomes show a strong bifurcated trajectory into both academic fellowship-trained subspecialty faculty positions (neuromuscular, neuro-ophthalmology, vascular) and direct-to-practice neurohospitalist/stroke leadership roles, with mentorship and institutional research/travel support repeatedly emphasized by alumni. The program values residents who thrive amid diagnostic complexity, embrace elective-driven self-directed subspecialization, and are motivated by Mayo's mission-driven, patient-first institutional culture.
