Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science Jacksonville Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is an academic, subspecialty-driven AP/CP residency embedded in a tertiary/quaternary referral center that also serves as a regional referral hub for both anatomic and clinical pathology, giving trainees exposure to a high-acuity, transplant-heavy case mix (including a major renal transplant service) alongside dedicated external rotations in forensic pathology, pediatric pathology (Nemours, Orlando), and obstetric pathology (UF Jacksonville). The department is explicitly positioned as a leader in digital/computational pathology and AI, and the fully digital surgical pathology practice with graduated resident responsibility (preliminary reports, intraoperative consults, independent bone marrow review) signals a program built around procedural autonomy layered onto subspecialty mentorship. Two dedicated research blocks plus ten elective blocks allow individualized tracks toward fellowship, laboratory management, or academic subspecialization, and the stated goals are independent practice readiness, fellowship preparation, and board certification. Only two positions are filled per year, reflecting a small, closely mentored cohort model within the larger Mayo Clinic Enterprise network.
