"All of the faculty read and commented on my personal statement! Also, Mayo is a legendary institution that lives up to its name. The faculty are very happy to be doing what they are doing" | More from this Member | Report Response

"Very nice facilities, the best I have seen. They have lots and lots of money, so that they even have a large gym with a salt water pool for employees. The resources available to treat patients are amazing and much more than available at most programs. You get to see a lot of zebras here because it's "Mayo". Also lots of wealthy, higher functioning patients the days I was there. Attendings fun-loving and accessible, down-to-earth, and love to teach. A white collar town populated by Mayo and IBM employees. Very safe, small town with culture for adults, good schools, however limited employment for spouses in many fields. Provided a 32 page brochure about the residency - questions were unnecessary on interview day as a result. Residents are very, very competent, like I want to be. Very strong child fellowship.

"The facilities were wonderful, the residents and doctors all seemed intelligent and down-to-earth, strong training in consultation-liaison psychiatry, good exposure to child psychiatry, strong teaching and supervision, residents seemed very happy, many opportunities to get involved in research, low cost of living." | More from this Member | Report Response

"Diversity of patients seems to be an issue. Most of the patients on the Child unit were caucasian teenagers. The dress code at Mayo is consistent with what others have said. Suits and no white coats. Attendings are called "consultants" and residents were very PC and proper (well groomed is another way to look at it.)" | More from this Member | Report Response

"Cold and arrogant attendings, bad weather, bad location, residents wear suit and tie all year instead of white coat, no book money" | More from this Member | Report Response

"Very formal atmosphere comes with the money at Mayo. Attendings and residents wear suits instead of white coats most of the time. Residents a little less accessible and more "politically correct" than at most programs in their speech and behavior, harder to get to know, but they are definitely the best residents skill-wise I've seen so far this year. Lots of snow in the winter; it's Minnesota. No book allowance for individuals, the interns just vote on what books the hospital should furnish each resident.

"Location in Rochester is a little out of the way, but Twin Cities are only about 60 miles away. Patient diversity might not be as great as in a big city, but they did mention that there is a big South Asian (Hmong) and Somali population in the area. Still working on expanding opportunities in forensic and community psychiatry. " | More from this Member | Report Response

"Very pleasant with numerous interviews that went over on time because the interviewers were genuinely excited about their work and very interested in getting to know me as a person beyond my application." | More from this Member | Report Response

"It's Mayo. They deserve their reputation. Easily my number one or two choice, only draw back is cold location far from home. Strong research emphasis, though not required you get the feeling you will publish just be being in the building almost. I felt it was a truly balanced program regarding psychopharm vs. psychotherapy." | More from this Member | Report Response

"Had a brief overview of program in the morning with the program director, then we got to join different teams (adult, child, geriatric) for clinical rounds. This was followed by our separate interviews with faculty members and the chairman. We then got a tour of the facilities, and lunch where several of the residents showed up. There was one more interview after lunch, then a wrap-up session with the assistant program director. There was also a dinner at a nice local restaurant at night.
