Program Identity & Fit

Mayo Clinic's Preventive Medicine Fellowship (Rochester, MN) is a 24-month academic program combining an MPH at the University of Minnesota School of Public Health with structured clinical rotations across occupational, aerospace, and public health medicine within a quaternary academic medical center. Fellows manage preventive and occupational health services for over 26,000 Mayo employees and 800 corporate clients, provide aviation medical consultation to major airlines, and complete a required two-month public health rotation with the St. Paul/Ramsey County Department of Public Health, giving the program an unusually broad occupational and aerospace medicine footprint for a preventive medicine program. Research is embedded as a graduation requirement (at minimum one original study pursued through publication and national presentation), supported by Mayo's extensive research infrastructure and mentorship network. The program explicitly trains for leadership roles in academic preventive medicine, health-care administration, public health practice, global health, and quality improvement rather than solely clinical preventive medicine.

Who it fits

An internal medicine or family medicine-trained physician with demonstrated interest in population health, occupational/aerospace medicine, or public health administration who has research or MPH-oriented experiences and is aiming toward academic, governmental, or corporate/occupational health leadership rather than direct patient-facing primary care.

Research intensity

Strong - an original research study with publication and national presentation is an explicit graduation requirement, backed by dedicated research time and Mayo mentorship.

Career orientation

Mixed - Academic Medicine, Community Practice

Important

Applicants must have completed at least three years of accredited residency training and be board eligible or board certified in internal medicine or family medicine, and must submit a letter of recommendation from their residency program director or department chair.
