This is a common misconception among resident applicants from outside Mayo. Although Mayo Clinic has an international reputation and provides care to patients from a number of countries, Mayo Clinic is also the referral center for all of southeast Minnesota, southwest Wisconsin, northern Iowa, and the Dakotas. It is also the primary caregiver for all of southeast Minnesota. In fact, a majority of Mayo’s patients are from the U.S., and a significant fraction of those are from the Midwest. The zebras only drop in a minority of the time.
