The college is part of the Mayo Clinic academic medical center and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). [2] MCCMS consists of five schools that offer M.D., Ph.D., and other degrees, as well as medical residencies, fellowships, and continuing medical education (CME). [8]

Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science is divided into five schools. [9] [10]

Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education

The Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education (MCSGME), established in 1915, offers more than 300 residences and fellowships in all medical and surgical specialties with 1,791 active trainees. [5] [11] [12]

Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine

The Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine (MCASOM), established in 1972, offers M.D., M.D.-Ph.D. (jointly with MCGSBS), and M.D.-O.M.S. (jointly with MCSGME) degrees. [13] [14]

Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences

The Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences (MCSHS), established in 1973, offers over 110 programs, internships, and rotations for 50 allied health professions. [15]

Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development

The Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development (MCSCPD), established in 1977, offers over 500 courses for continuing medical education. [16] More than 84,000 medical professionals enrolled and participated in these courses during 2019. [5]

Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences

The Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences (MCGSBS), established in 1989, offers Master's, Ph.D., and M.D.-Ph.D. (jointly with MCASOM) degrees in biomedical sciences. [17]

Interschool programs

The collegiate structure of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science allows students to combine advanced training within the Mayo Clinic. [9]

Medical Scientist Training Program (M.D.-Ph.D.)

The Mayo Clinic M.D.-Ph.D. Program was established in 1986 and has been continuously funded by an NIH/NIGMS Medical Scientist Training Program (MSTP) T32 grant since 2003. [18] It is a partnership between Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine and Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences that operates on a 2-4-2 model, where students earn their Ph.D. between medical school Years 2 and 3. [19] MSTP students are able to take or test out of several graduate school classes during medical school Years 1 and 2. They also have the flexibility to complete medical school Year 3 clinical clerkships during their graduate school years if it works with their research schedule. For students who choose to focus exclusively on research during the graduate phase, a robust re-entry curriculum is provided to students as they transition back to medical school Year 3. [20] The Mayo Clinic MSTP fully supports students through a guaranteed internal fellowship for up to four research years, eliminating the need for students to identify a faculty member to provide financial support. [21]

Center for Clinical and Translational Science M.D.-M.S. Program

The Mayo Clinic Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCaTS) offers the M.D.-M.S. dual degree through MCASOM and MCGSBS. [22] The CCaTS program is open to medical students at MCASOM and the University of Puerto Rico School of Medicine. Competitive awards are available to cover program fees while also providing a stipend and support for research expenses.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Residency (M.D.-O.M.S.)

The Mayo Clinic Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency (M.D.-O.M.S.) is a 6-year joint offering of MCASOM and Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education in which dentists earn their M.D. degrees during surgical training. [23]

History

The Mayo Clinic has a long history of medical education, and was a pioneer in postgraduate education for physicians. [24]

The first medical educational programs at the Mayo Clinic were developed in 1915 with the assistance of the University of Minnesota. [25] [26] The two institutions held close relationships in the early 20th century. William James Mayo was a Regent of the University of Minnesota [27] and his brother Charles Horace Mayo was a professor of surgery at the University of Minnesota Medical School. In its early years, the Mayo Clinic was operated as a for-profit hospital [28] [29] and could not affiliate with the university. [25]

This led to the creation of the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research (MFMER) in 1915. [30] MFMER was established as a department of the University of Minnesota with a $1.5 million donation to offer graduate programs at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. [31] During the same time period, the Mayo brothers created the Mayo Properties Association which converted the Mayo Clinic into a non-profit association practice. Mayo Properties Association later became the Mayo Foundation. [26] These steps led to the university and Mayo Clinic to enter into an affiliation and teaching agreement. [32] The curriculum during this period focused on the development of medical specialists during a time when the medical field was becoming further professionalized.

Location

The Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science is based in Rochester, Minnesota, with additional campuses in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, and Jacksonville, Florida. [6] These are named Mayo Clinic Arizona and the Mayo Clinic Florida.

Doctor of Medicine is a medical degree, the meaning of which varies between different jurisdictions. In the United States, and some other countries, the M.D. denotes a professional degree. This generally arose because many in 18th-century medical professions trained in Scotland, which used the M.D. degree nomenclature. In England, however, Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (M.B.B.S.) was used and eventually in the 19th century became the standard in Scotland too. Thus, in the United Kingdom, Ireland and other countries, the M.D. is a research doctorate, honorary doctorate or applied clinical degree restricted to those who already hold a professional degree (Bachelor's/Master's/Doctoral) in medicine. In those countries, the equivalent professional degree to the North American, and some others' usage of M.D. is still typically titled Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery.

The Medical Scientist Training Programs (MSTPs) are dual-degree training programs that streamline the education towards both clinical and research doctoral degrees. MSTPs are offered by some United States medical schools, who are awarded financial support from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, a branch of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The goal of these training programs is to produce physician scientists who can translate laboratory discoveries into effective treatments for patients.

The Doctorate of Medicine and of Philosophy (MD–PhD) is a dual doctoral degree for physician–scientists, combining the professional training of the Doctor of Medicine degree with the research expertise of the Doctor of Philosophy degree; the Ph.D. is the most advanced credential in the United States. Other dual degree programs exist, such as the joint MD–JD degree; both the JD professional degree and the MD are not universally recognized internationally, however. The National Institutes of Health currently provides 50 medical schools with Medical Scientist Training Program grants that support the training of students in MD–PhD programs at these institutions through tuition and stipend allowances. These programs are often competitive, with some admitting as few as two students per academic year. The MCAT score and GPA of MD–PhD matriculants are often higher than MD only matriculants.
