At Mayo Clinic Arizona our primary goal is to train our residents to become world class neurologists. Mayo Clinic's three shields serve as the foundation for our program. These shields represent not just ideals, but reality. The top shield symbolizes patient care, which always comes first and is inextricably linked to the other two shields: education and research. No matter how subspecialized you may become as a resident in our program, you will be trained as an excellent general neurologist, first and foremost. Fortunately, Mayo Clinic also is big enough, diverse enough, and has the depth of expertise to teach you to be an academic leader and researcher as well.
