About the program

Residents will complete their first year of training (PGY1) in the Internal Medicine Preliminary Year Program at Mayo Clinic Florida (MCF). Then, they will undergo 12 months of rotations for inpatient rehabilitation at Brooks Rehabilitation’s inpatient hospital, including pediatrics. In the final 24 months of the program, residents will receive outpatient musculoskeletal and neurologic clinics, electromyography and acute hospital consults at MCF.

Training at both MCF and Brooks offers residents the chance to learn from some of the most respected clinicians and researchers in the field. Learn more details about the residency curriculum on the Mayo Clinic website.
