"The clinical training is SUPERB. This is a world-class hospital and clinic with renowned faculty who outnumber the medical students 13 to 1. These physicians love to teach and there is a competitive process to teach medical students. Since the physicians are salaried, they get paid equally if they teach or if they do clinical care, so there is no pressure to churn out patients to ensure a paycheck - therefore they would gladly teach eager young medical students. We are taught mainly by MDs >95% of the time for both our lectures (mornings) and our small groups (afternoons). Anatomy is 7 straight weeks and we never have to go into the cadaver lab again if you don't want to, and we get taught by world famous surgeons during anatomy where they come up to our cadaver and teach us all the relevant structures for that day. We also get strong patient care from year 1. We have a basic doctoring course year one where we learn how to take a history and do a physical on simulated patients, and then we go around the hospital our second year to visit patients and practice our physical exam skills on interesting findings on those patients. We are expected to interview, work up, and present 10 patients to physicians in our second year in our Advanced Doctoring course to learn how to interview and diagnose patients. In terms of research, many of my classmates have published multiple times - we have a classmate who published 21 mostly first-author papers by the time he graduated but it's not uncommon to see medical students graduating with 5-10 publications. I myself will have 6 when I graduate. This is only hitting the tip of the iceberg at how amazing this medical school is and now that I am on the interview trail talking to other medical students at other top institutions, I truly believe Mayo provides the best medical education for those who want to be strong clinicians."

"There are no on-campus housing. However, many students do live within a 10-15 minute walk from the school and some can stay indoors through the tunnels underground (walking subway system) all winter long. The cost of housing is extremely cheap. It will not be more than $1000 for a place all to your own. I pay $400 to live with two other roommates in a 3-bed, 3-bath luxury apartment. My other classmate lives in a 4-bedroom, 2-bath house for $1400."

"AMAZING!! We have >95% of our courses taught by world-class MDs who are experts in their fields (read: they write the main textbooks, UpToDate, or other clinical resources that most physicians use) so the material we learn is extremely relevant to clinical care. Teaching the medical school is extremely sought after by physicians since we have 13 physicians for every 1 medical student. There is a competitive application process to teach our medical school classes, which means we get the best teachers. We have small groups in the afternoon for case discussions which are usually about 5-7 students per 1 physician."
"Even more amazing than the pre-clinical years! They are extremely accessible, value teaching medical students, and many times we report to them directly and they teach us diagnostic formulation and how to make a plan as medical students. Almost all the faculty I've encountered have been super friendly and love to teach."

"We send in our exact preferences in where we'd like our locations placed in the year. Most of the time, we get exactly that. Required rotations include: Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Ob/Gyn, Family Medicine, Neurology, Psychiatry and in our 4th year: Emergency Medicine and Internal Medicine Sub-I."
"Medical students carry 2-4 patients at a time on the wards, present them to the attending, and participate in all aspects of clinical care related to that patient. We are protected from scut work because the hospital system is very efficient in reducing non-value added work. The most scut work I had to do was to call a patient's outside provider or family member a few times. Otherwise, medical student education is of the highest priority for that student and if any activity doesn't align with that, then the medical student is protected from it by the residents and faculty."
"Mayo Clinic has been the #1 hospital or near that for more than 25 years for good reason. You do all your rotations at Mayo Clinic. There are two main hospitals less than a mile apart connected by a shuttle system. The outpatient clinics are right between those two hospitals. The medical school campus is immediately across the street in the middle of the clinics, research buildings, and simulation lab."

"Drink at the local bars, go dancing at the two clubs, go wine tasting at the local wineries, outdoor activities including hiking and biking, there are farmer's markets and downtown markets, multiple potlucks, movie nights, and go up to Minneapolis-St. Paul for more fun."
"Medical students get interviews and matched at top residency programs, including Mayo, MGH, B&W, Hopkins, Yale, Columbia, UCSF, UCLA, Stanford, University of Washington, and many more. Applicants applying to competitive specialties match at top places because the research here is so accessible, mentorship is so available, and it is easy to get strong letters of recommendations from world-class renowned faculty since there's only a few students going into that competitive specialty in each class (vs if you come from a bigger school where >20 want to go into let's say dermatology)"
"Our medical training and surgical training is superb. We see a ton of zebras and know how to think critically about the assessment, especially given our early clinical exposure to patient care (from 1st year) and being directly taught by multiple clinicians from day 1 every day until we graduate. We are very strong at producing anesthesiologists for some reason. Our procedural training is excellent - we get tons of hands on experience with ultrasound, suturing, doing IVs and central lines, reading radiographic imaging, laparoscopic procedures, and even doing radiofrequency ablations. One of my classmates did a basic surgical operation while the attending first-assisted."
