The Mayo International Health Program provides Mayo Clinic residents, fellows, and eligible learners with the opportunity to participate in elective clinical rotations in underserved international communities. The program is designed to foster the development of future leaders in academic and clinical medicine by offering hands-on care experiences, promoting cultural awareness, and broadening clinical skills in resource-limited settings.
