The Mayo Clinic Department of Comparative Medicine (DCM) offers a two-week externship in laboratory animal medicine for veterinary students during their clinical training. DCM employs five ACLAM board-certified/eligible laboratory animal veterinarians and six certified veterinary technologists who provide preventative and clinical medical care for animals used in research and over 40 animal care technicians working in five vivarium facilities. The Mayo Clinic is also one of the two sites comprising the Minnesota Laboratory Animal Medicine Consortium (MLAMC), a three-year residency program in collaboration with the University of Minnesota. The program accepts one resident per year at each site.
