He interned at the Royal Columbian Hospital in British Columbia before becoming a resident in internal medicine at Queen Elizabeth II Health Sciences Centre, a teaching hospital affiliated with Dalhousie University, in 1977. He moved to neurology in 1979 and in 1981 became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, again in neurology.

Noseworthy joined the Mayo Clinic Department of Neurology in 1990, [10] [11] and over the course of his scientific career contributed to more than 150 peer-reviewed publications in the areas of neurology, clinical practice, leadership, and access to medical care. [12] Noseworthy was the editor-in-chief of the journal Neurology from 2007 to 2009. [6] Under Noseworthy, Neurology began publishing weekly rather than monthly. [10]

At Mayo Clinic, Noseworthy held several leadership roles, including chairman of the Department of Neurology (1997 to 2006), medical director of Mayo Clinic's Department of Development (2006 to 2009), member of the Mayo Clinic Rochester Executive Board (2006 to 2009), and vice-chairman of the Mayo Clinic Executive Board (2006 to 2009). [13] [14] Noseworthy was appointed CEO in 2009, succeeding Denis Cortese. [10]

As CEO, he reorganized Mayo Clinic from a holding company into a single unit with one business plan and strategy. [15] During Noseworthy's tenure, Mayo Clinic's revenues increased to $12 billion and the hospital ranked No. 1 on U.S. News & World Report ''s "Best Hospitals" list for four of his last five years as CEO. [16] He also oversaw Mayo Clinic's launch of its Destination Medical Center, a 20-year $5.6 billion economic development initiative. [15] As one of his final projects at Mayo Clinic, the organization rolled out an electronic health record system. [17] Noseworthy retired at the end of 2018, in line with Mayo Clinic's tradition of rotating its leadership every decade. [15]

Noseworthy advised the first Trump administration on health care issues, including ways to improve the Department of Veterans Affairs, [18] national medical research funding, and the effects of immigration policies on patient access and doctor training. [19] Additionally, Noseworthy has advocated for telemedicine as a means to improve health care access and lower costs. [20] He said the federal government's policies have failed to keep up with state regulatory policies on telemedicine. [20] Noseworthy was one of 10 prominent hospital CEOs to author an article in Health Affairs about physician burnout. [21] Noseworthy and others called for health care leaders to make addressing physician burnout a major priority due to its adverse effects on patient safety, quality of care, and health care costs. [21]

Among his board service, Noseworthy has served on the board of directors for UnitedHealth Group, Merck & Co., and the American Academy of Neurology. [22]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Telehealth</span> Health care by telecommunication

Telehealth is the distribution of health-related services and information via electronic information and telecommunication technologies. It allows long-distance patient and clinician contact, care, advice, reminders, education, intervention, monitoring, and remote admissions. Telemedicine is sometimes used as a synonym, or is used in a more limited sense to describe remote clinical services, such as diagnosis and monitoring. When rural settings, lack of transport, a lack of mobility, conditions due to outbreaks, epidemics or pandemics, decreased funding, or a lack of staff restrict access to care, telehealth may bridge the gap as well as provide distance-learning; meetings, supervision, and presentations between practitioners; online information and health data management and healthcare system integration. Telehealth could include two clinicians discussing a case over video conference; a robotic surgery occurring through remote access; physical therapy done via digital monitoring instruments, live feed and application combinations; tests being forwarded between facilities for interpretation by a higher specialist; home monitoring through continuous sending of patient health data; client to practitioner online conference; or even videophone interpretation during a consult.
