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]
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.
