Hello Pre-Med students!
I am one of the residents in the Department of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. I wanted to share this wonderful opportunity offered through our department this year.
Otolaryngology – otherwise known as Ear, Nose, and Throat, is (in my humble opinion) one of the best fields in medicine. It offers a unique combination of complex surgery, medical management, and incorporates the use of new and exciting technology. We perform microscopic ear surgery, endoscopic skull base surgery, robotic head and neck surgery, and complex plastics reconstruction of defects in the head and neck. Most importantly, we are one of the few specialties with the skill to restore several of the 5 senses for our patients – the ability to hear, smell, and taste. In addition, our team is not made up of only doctors/surgeons. We have incredible physician assistants and nurse practitioners who care for our patients both in the clinic and in the operating room, speech and language pathologists that help patients improve their breathing, swallowing and voice, audiologists who can help restore a patients hearing and basic scientists studying genetics and the immune system.
The Mayo Clinic Otolaryngology Undergraduate Research Program is a newly established program in our department that offers a 10 week paid summer internship to underrepresented in medicine (URM) undergraduate students interested in entering the medical field. The stipend should be enough to cover cost of living for the summer, and in addition, would pay for prep classes or tutoring for examinations required for graduate school (ex: MCAT for med school, etc), and would support you going to a conference to attend and learn or present your research.
This intensive 10 week research program is meant to help students build experience in research and clinical skills. Students will be paired up with residents and faculty mentors, and shadow in the clinic and operating room setting. This year, the program will run from June 7th to Aug 13th.
Please see the following link for more information on how to apply. The deadline to apply is April 1st.
