As a CRNA at Mayo Clinic you will change lives-including your own. You will have the chance to choose from a wide number of specialties and settings and focus on procedures inside or outside of the operating room. Experience a case mix of thoracic, vascular, neurology, orthopedics, general surgery, ophthalmology, urology, ENT, gynecology, plastics, basic pediatrics and more.

You can choose to work in our large medical centers in Minnesota, Arizona, and Florida, or in a community-based practice with Mayo Clinic Health System in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin.

Your career begins with a universal orientation to acquaint you with our medical campus, employee resources, and benefit and policy information.  Next you receive orientation in the Department of Anesthesiology, tailored to your personal background.  You will experience a hands-on introduction to the technologies, policies, and procedures used within the practice.  You will also spend time in a variety of clinical areas with an experienced CRNA.  Rotation scheduled in each area are individually tailored to you.

Whatever path you choose, you’re joining a multidisciplinary team that delivers high quality, compassionate medical care.  We are the largest integrated, not-for-profit medical group practice in the world, combining the best care, groundbreaking research, and innovative medical education.  And as you will see, our unique culture offers a blend of career mobility and fascinating challenges you won’t find anywhere else.  An added advantage is the opportunity to see rare and challenging cases here at Mayo Clinic that many medical professionals never experience.

Working at Mayo Clinic won’t just make you better-it will change your life.
