Microblog: Careers with Minnesota Companies: Mayo Clinic

The Mayo Clinic, the #1 hospital in the world, sees over 1 million patients every year from all 50 states and over 150 countries. It began after William Mayo started his practice of medicine in 1864. His sons grew up and became physicians also, and began what is now the Mayo Clinic, a huge campus of buildings that see many different medical issues and also houses the Mayo College of Medicine. Some history: http://history.mayoclinic.org/stories.php#video-container

 

The unique thing about this giant medical center is that, when you are seen, all the specialists you might need are in this one place and you will likely see them all in the same day. Your test results will be processed immediately so that you  get your diagnosis quickly and can make a plan for treatment with your doctors. It is a collaborative and cooperative treatment center where top-quality doctors consider themselves colleagues and partners, working together to solve medical problems for the good of the patient. The 4500+ physicians are paid a salary, not by how many patients they see; this was the plan of the Mayo Brothers from the start. Anyone can be seen at Mayo, usually without a referral.
