What is it like working at Mayo?
The Mayo Clinic is a remarkable institution and is almost impossible to describe to someone who has not personally visited. Mayo is absolutely committed to providing the highest possible level of patient care and has not been afraid to invest significant financial and human resources towards achieving that goal. Just one example within the division of anatomic pathology is the very large number of support staff. Each of the forty anatomic pathology consultants has at least one personal secretary who can order special stains, request outside blocks, transcribe dictations and numerous other functions that might otherwise be relegated to the resident as scutwork. This high level of support allows the consultant to focus on patient care issues and the resident to focus on learning.
