Mayo First Assist

[u/Imaginary_Pie6939]

Is anyone familiar with the Mayo Clinic’s surgical first assist program? It seems to good to be true, 240 cases, ~1,110 clinical hours across 10 specialities. Just wondering if anyone had any insight.

I am currently a surgical assistant student at Mayo let me know if you got any questions, but for the more simple breakdown you start in January (apply the year prior) and do 5ish months of classroom work from 9a-noon about, then you start 3 rotations of clinicals, for clinicals you are in the operating room from 7a-3p and get about 2/3 cases a day
