Drum Roll Please.....

WE ARE STAYING IN SALT LAKE CITY FOR OUR ONE YEAR TRANSITIONAL PROGRAM AND THEN GOING TO THE MAYO CLINIC IN ROCHESTER MINNESOTA FOR THREE YEARS OF DERMATOLOGY! We feel very privileged to be going to a top Derm Program, even though it wasn't our first pick and we will be subjected to sub-zero temperatures a good 2 months out of the year. I guess that means I get to shop for cute warm weather wear, which will include a pair of Uggs in every color! I guess the sacrifice will be worth the quality of the training for him, as well as myself (working as an RN). We will also be able to afford a moderate size home, get a dog and visit often with one of my favorite mission companions (you were all my favorites!!) who is already there, with her husband, specializing in Urology. I can't wait to play ANDREA!

I will blog more about this later!
Dr. Charles and William Mayo- They along with their father (all Doctors)founded THE MAYO CLINIC in 1903. It was just a clinic then and became a full medical center by 1915. It's an amazing story.

Where the Clinic began in St. Mary's hospital in 1903
Inside the Clinic today. It is absolutely beautiful.

I LOVE THE MAYO MODEL OF CARE- it has inspired many aspects how we practice medicine today.

The Mayo Clinic Model of Care is defined by high quality,
compassionate medical care delivered in a multispecialty,
integrated academic institution. The primary focus, meeting
the needs of the patient, is accomplished by embracing the
following core elements (attributes) as the practice continues
to evolve.

The Mayo Clinic logo of three interlocking shields symbolizes Mayo's commitment to Excellence and Interdependence in the areas Research, Education and Clinical Practice.

CONGRATULATIONS GARRETT, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!
