About this opportunity
Visiting student elective on the Rheumatology Consultation Service at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. Students make daily hospital rounds with a consultant, a rheumatology fellow and one to two internal medicine residents, and ideally work up one consultation a day, following the patient throughout the hospital stay. Students attend Saturday rounds and weekday 7:30 a.m. rheumatology conferences. In the afternoons they evaluate new consultations or take part in the procedure clinic. There is no evening call. Goals include rheumatologic evaluation, differential diagnosis, interpreting laboratory studies, and advising treatment. Evaluation is by consultants and fellows through MedHub. Applications go through the AAMC's VSLO service, which charges its own application fee. Cost for international applicants, as Mayo's application page states it: "Submit a $350 (USD) non-refundable application fee."
