The training program for freshly minted doctors at Mayo Clinic Health System in Eau Claire is among the best in the nation, according to rankings published by a networking service for medical professionals.

Mayo’s Family Medicine Residency Program in Eau Claire has been ranked the No. 1 program in the Midwest, No. 1 in Wisconsin, and No. 6 in the U.S. on Doximity’s 2021 Residency Navigator. Program rankings are determined by three factors: current resident and recent alumni satisfaction, reputation among board-certified family medicine physicians, and objective data – including research output.

“To be ranked the top family medicine residency program in the Midwest and one of the top programs in the nation is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our faculty, resident physicians and all of the staff who help to provide patient-centered care for families in Northwest Wisconsin,” said Terri Nordin, M.D., director of the Family Medicine Residency Program. “We are proud of the work we have done since our first class of resident physicians joined the program in 2017, and we are excited for the future as we continue to prepare the next generation of physicians.”

Doximity is the leading digital platform for medical professionals. The Doximity Residency Navigator, which includes 4,900 residency programs across 28 different specialties – including more than 700 programs in family medicine alone – is used by over 90% of graduating medical students to help select the program that best meets their training needs.
