Individuals are selected for the Distinguished Fellowship Award based on the qualities associated with Mayo Clinic’s founders, Drs. William J. and Charles W. Mayo, including outstanding clinical performance, humanitarianism, and scholarly activity.
Recipients receive a certificate plaque and funding of up to $2,000 for an additional attendance trip. This award directly benefits the resident or fellow’s “home department” by funding a portion of his/her stipend and benefits. asdf
