Talk:Mayo Clinic

Request to update basic facts
Hello editors, my name is Jessica. I am a representative from Mayo Clinic here to make some suggested improvements to this article both now and in the near future. I hope editors find that these suggestions overall improve Wikipedia. Below, I have a list of basic factual updates that can improve the article. In the infobox:
 * Update chair to Michael Powell.
 * Update number of employees to 76,000 (2022).
 * This fact sheet is currently cited in the infobox already, but the citation needed to be updated and reformatted, so I have done that here.

In the Corporate affairs section:
 * Update revenue to $16.3 billion (2022).
 * Replace "Samuel A. DiPiazza, Jr., retired CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers, is chairman of Mayo Clinic's governing board of trustees." with "Michael Powell, former chair of the Federal Communications Commission, is chair of Mayo Clinic's governing board of trustees. "
 * Replace "Mayo Clinic employs 63,000 people, including more than 4,500 physicians and scientists and 58,400 administrative and allied health staff, as of 2018." with "Mayo Clinic employs 76,000 people, including more than 7,300 physicians and clinical residents and over 66,000 allied health staff, as of 2022." "
 * Delete the sentence "Of those, approximately 34,000 are based in Rochester." The sentence is written like it is current but this is outdated information and I suggest removal.

I am happy to answer any questions here. Thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 18:23, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Request to Update Core Operations section
Hi, I would like to make more suggested improvements to this article, this time to the Core Operations section and its subsequent three subsections. I hope editors find that these suggestions overall improve Wikipedia. In the Clinical practice subsection:
 * Update the opening sentence from "In 2018, more than 1.2 million different patients from all 50 states and 138 countries were seen at Mayo Clinic facilities." to "In 2022, more than 1.3 million different patients from all 50 states and 138 countries were seen at Mayo Clinic facilities. "
 * Remove "Mayo Clinic offers highly specialized medical care, and a large portion of the patient population are referrals from smaller clinics and hospitals across the upper Midwest and the United States."
 * This is due to a lack of sourcing attached to the sentence

In the Research subsection: In the Education section:
 * Add "Mayo Clinic pledged $100 million over 10 years toward eliminating bias in medicine, providing equity, and diversifying leadership. "
 * Add "Specialized care areas at Mayo Clinic include ovarian cancer, colon cancer, congenital heart disease, glioma, heart failure, aortic valve surgery, and prostate cancer. "
 * Update "As of 2018, research personnel included 254 full-time scientific faculty, 766 physicians actively involved in research, and 4,027 full-time research personnel. In 2018, the institutional review board approved 3,067 new human research studies and 12,760 ongoing studies." to "As of 2022, research personnel included about 5,500 physicians and scientists. "
 * Add "Mayo Clinic's 2022 research funding exceeded $1 billion. "
 * Add "In 2019, two Mayo Clinic doctors started a biotech firm through Mayo Clinic's Employee Entrepreneurship Program at One Discovery Square complex in downtown Rochester, which Mayo Clinic anchors and leases out. "
 * Add "In 2020, Mayo Clinic launched the federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, which reached over 70,000 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across the United States. "
 * Add "In September 2023, Mayo Clinic in Florida opened its Community Health Collaborative in Downtown Jacksonville. This location is for researchers to conduct community health education and clinical trial participation outreach and the Mayo Clinic will not provide medical care at the location. "
 * In this section, rather than prose in a sentence for each school, I am suggesting rearranging it into a list, which can be seen below in the draft.
 * Add "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. "
 * Add "Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota. "
 * Add "In 1972, the medical school opened. "

Clinical practice In 2022, more than 1.3 million different patients from all 50 states and 138 countries were seen at Mayo Clinic facilities. Mayo Clinic physicians are paid a fixed salary, which is not linked to patient volume (relative value units) or income from fee-for-service payments. This practice is thought to decrease the monetary motivation to see patients in excessive numbers and increase the incentive to spend more time with patients. Mayo Clinic pledged $100 million over 10 years toward eliminating bias in medicine, providing equity, and diversifying leadership. Specialized care areas at Mayo Clinic include ovarian cancer, colon cancer, congenital heart disease, glioma, heart failure, aortic valve surgery, and prostate cancer. Research Mayo Clinic researchers contribute to understanding disease processes, best clinical practices, and translating findings from the laboratory to clinical practice. As of 2022, research personnel included about 5,500 physicians and scientists. In recent years, 100% of Mayo Clinic's internal medicine residents across the three campuses have published research during their tenure. Mayo Clinic's 2022 research funding exceeded $1 billion. In 2019, two Mayo Clinic doctors started a biotech firm through Mayo Clinic's Employee Entrepreneurship Program at One Discovery Square complex in downtown Rochester, which Mayo Clinic anchors and leases out. In 2020, Mayo Clinic launched the federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, which reached over 70,000 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across the United States. In September 2023, Mayo Clinic in Florida opened its Community Health Collaborative in Downtown Jacksonville. This location is for researchers to conduct community health education and clinical trial participation outreach and the Mayo Clinic will not provide medical care at the location. Education

The Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science (MCCMS), established in 1915, offers educational programs embedded in Mayo Clinic's clinical practice and biomedical research activities. MCCMS consists of five accredited schools: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota. In 1972, the medical school opened.
 * Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine provides training for medical students seeking a medical degree (M.D.).
 * Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education established in 1915, offers more than 300 residences and fellowships in all medical and surgical specialties with 1,791 active trainees.
 * Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences provides training in 60 health sciences career fields.
 * Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development provides continuing education for practicing medical professionals.
 * Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences is for graduate students (Master's degree, M.D.-Ph.D., or Ph.D.) pursuing biomedical research training.

I will not post these updates directly due to my conflict of interest. Please contact me for any thoughts or questions, thank you JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 15:42, 12 October 2023 (UTC)

Spintendo: Thank you for reviewing and making the improvements you've made thus far. Below are suggestions for a few items you declined – and one question for you.


 * "Mayo Clinic pledged $100 million over 10 years toward eliminating bias in medicine, providing equity, and diversifying leadership."
 * Reason for decline: "This information includes elements from the future ('over 10 years')."
 * Mayo Clinic reply: Would you consider adding the sentence if we omit "over 10 years", since the pledge itself did happen.
 * Mayo Clinic suggestion: "Mayo Clinic pledged $100 million toward eliminating bias in medicine, providing equity, and diversifying leadership. "
 * "In 2019, two Mayo Clinic doctors started a biotech firm through Mayo Clinic's Employee Entrepreneurship Program at One Discovery Square complex in downtown Rochester, which Mayo Clinic anchors and leases out. In 2020, Mayo Clinic launched the federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, which reached over 70,000 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across the United States. In September 2023, Mayo Clinic in Florida opened its Community Health Collaborative in Downtown Jacksonville. This location is for researchers to conduct community health education and clinical trial participation outreach and the Mayo Clinic will not provide medical care at the location."
 * Reason for decline: The Mayo Clinic Employee Entrepreneurship Program, the Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, and the Community Health Collaborative are not independently notable in Wikipedia.
 * Mayo Clinic reply: It is my understanding that things do not have to be notable to be added to an existing article, but they should be verifiable in independent reliable sources. After seeing this feedback, I looked at the notability rules, which say the "criteria applied to the creation or retention of an article are not the same as those applied to the content inside it. The notability guideline does not apply to the contents of articles." The content I suggested cites reliable sources, including The Post Bulletin, NPR, and Jacksonville Today. Will you help me understand why this is insufficient?
 * "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota"
 * Reason for decline: "The provided source for these claims is 34 pages long. The particular page where this information exists in that source was not provided with the request; surely the COI editor does not intend the reviewer to read 34 pages in order to verify this information. Additionally, the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research does not appear to be independently notable."
 * Mayo Clinic reply: I have updated the citations here to specify which pages verify the information
 * Mayo Clinic suggestion: "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota. "
 * "In 1972, the medical school opened."
 * Reason for decline: "It is not known which medical school this claim represents."
 * Mayo Clinic reply: At the time, it was called Mayo Medical School. The school is now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine. Revised text below.
 * Mayo Clinic suggestion: "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened. "

Thank you. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 20:16, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * 1) The information regarding the pledge is still future information, regardless of how it is reworded.
 * 2) With respect to the non-notable companies, what the reviewer is asking for here is not due to WP:N (which is not a content requirement). In this instance, the request for notability is to ensure a neutral point of view. The association of a main organization (Mayo) with another company (the biotech firms) represents a point of view, in that it effectively ascribes to the associated company the relative value and importance of its association according to the main organization's point of view (i.e., "Because we thought it was important-enough to associate ourselves with them, that makes it important-enough to mention in the article."). If the associated companies were independently notable, that would add weight to the main organization's view that their association was important enough to be mentioned in the article. Otherwise, adding to an article several points of view on associations with non-notable companies may upset an article's balancing aspects. Thus, this reviewer's own practice is to limit the listing of associations to those which are independently notable in Wikipedia.
 * 3) The requested text proposed to be placed under the Education section appears to mirror information already included under the Educational programs section. Before more text is added, please clarify whether there is any overlap.

Regards, Spintendo  21:02, 19 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Spintendo Thank you for the detailed responses. To answer one question you had, the details are similar however what I presented provides more information including where the endowment came from and the expansion of the three-year post graduate program.


 * I also do not see your verdict on my updated suggestion: "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened.


 * Thank you JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 13:17, 26 October 2023 (UTC)


 * With regards to your first reply To answer one question you had, the details are similar however what I presented provides more information including where the endowment came from and the expansion of the three-year post graduate program. I would prefer that we have the article containing one section where this is mentioned but with not a lot of detail, as opposed to having two sections as you've proposed. If you'd like your newer, more complete section added, then the other section needs to be proposed for deletion here on the talk page. In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened. If we could get a Wikilink for the Alix school that would be helpful. When ready to proceed, please change the answer parameter from yes to no. Regards, Spintendo  23:26, 26 October 2023 (UTC)


 * Spintendo, I would like to make the following requests based on your above suggestions:


 * To the Education subsection of the Core Operations section, add "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota. "
 * In the Educational programs subsection, remove "The first medical, educational programs at Mayo Clinic were developed in 1915 with the assistance of the University of Minnesota.  Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research were established in 1915. MFMER was established as a department of the University of Minnesota with a $1.5 million donation to offer graduate programs at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. "
 * In the Educational programs subsection, remove the word "now" from the following sentence: "The Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education is now part of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, which is divided into five schools. "


 * To the Education subsection of the Core Operations section, add "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened. "


 * Please let me know your thoughts on this, thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 15:20, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Reasons were not provided with the request. These reasons should be provided for each change requested.


 * Regards, Spintendo  21:21, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Updated request
I would like to make the following request:


 * To the Education subsection of the Core Operations section, add "Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was incorporated in 1915 from an endowment of $1.5 million from the personal funds of brothers William J. Mayo, M.D. and Charles H. Mayo, M.D. Also in that year, the Mayo Foundation expanded its three-year post graduate program through a partnership with the University of Minnesota. "
 * In the Educational programs subsection of the History section, remove "The first medical, educational programs at Mayo Clinic were developed in 1915 with the assistance of the University of Minnesota.  Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education and the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research were established in 1915. MFMER was established as a department of the University of Minnesota with a $1.5 million donation to offer graduate programs at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. "
 * In the Educational programs subsection, remove the word "now" from the following sentence: "The Mayo Clinic School of Graduate Medical Education is now part of the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, which is divided into five schools.
 * My rationale for requesting to add the above content is to provide more information on where the endowment came from and include information on the three-year post graduate program. The content I'm seeking to remove would then reduce redundancy in the article following the new additions.

I would like to additionally make a second request:


 * To the Education subsection of the Core Operations section, add "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened. "
 * My rationale for requesting to add this is because it is not currently in the article and provides valuable information to the timeline of Mayo Clinic's history in the late 20th century.

Please let me know your thoughts on this, thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 13:34, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Regards, Spintendo  23:48, 11 November 2023 (UTC)
 * 1) ❌ The information regarding Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was not moved to the Education subsection of the Core Operations section. This information, which speaks about Mayo's history, belongs in the History section.
 * 2) ✅ The word "now" was removed.
 * 3) ❌ The information concerning Alix school of medicine, as it mentions the opening in 1972, is more apropos to reside somewhere in the History section.

Thanks for the response, Spintendo. I see what you mean about placement in the History section versus the Education subsection. Taking this into account, here is what I propose instead:
 * To the History section, add "In 1972, the Mayo Medical School (now Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine) opened. "
 * My suggested placement is under the Growth and national expansion subsection of the History section, specifically in order to keep with chronology, I think it should be after the sentence that reads "Following World War II, Mayo Clinic continued to expand in Rochester, Minnesota." and before the sentence that reads "The 1980s initiated transformative changes that set the course for the modern Mayo Clinic"
 * My rationale for requesting to add this is because it is not currently in the article and provides valuable information to the timeline of Mayo Clinic's history in the late 20th century.

Contributions to medicine and science
Hi, Jessica here. I have some additional thoughts on this article and ways it can be improved, outlined below. This is all strictly content addition proposals and none of the existing content should need to be edited or removed from the article with these proposals. Add each of the following bullet points to the very end of the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection of the "History" in the order I have presented them (in order to maintain chronology and keep with Wikipedia standards). I think these additions each are appropriate for the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection and should be added as they provide more information and context to that section:
 * In 2018, Mayo Clinic collaborated with UCLA to help a man paralyzed since 2013 stand and walk with assistance, using spinal cord stimulation and physical therapy. The results were published in the journal Nature Medicine.
 * Launched in 2020, Mayo Clinic's Advanced Care at Home Model of Care provides at home for patients who otherwise would be hospitalized.
 * In 2020, Mayo Clinic launched the federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma, which reached over 70,000 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 across the United States.
 * Mayo Clinic Phoenix performed the most transplants out of anywhere in the United States in 2022 after it had over 800 solid organs.
 * As of 2023, Mayo Clinic treated over 6,000 patients with proton beam therapy and an additional 4,000 patients at a second facility.

I am happy to answer any questions editors might have JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 17:31, 22 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Hello, not here to answer your COI edit request, just offering a comment. Wikipedia generally does not like bulleted lists and instead prefers to write content in prose, for the sake of readability. Additionally these additions have a promotional tone and does not look like content that would help with the article in the large scope of things.  Wandering  Morpheme   00:33, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
 * @WanderingMorpheme I agree that the content here is promotional in nature and that the addition of it would not add much to the article information wise. Regards, Spintendo  04:27, 23 November 2023 (UTC)


 * WanderingMorpheme and Spintendo Thanks for the feedback and sorry for the confusion, I meant that the below should be added as prose, the bullet points were simply for organization on the Talk page. I have removed them for clarity. Additionally, I see what you are saying about promotional language so I have made amendments. To reiterate, this is all strictly content addition proposals and none of the existing content should need to be edited or removed from the article with these proposals.

 * I am happy to keep answering questions! JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 15:43, 29 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't want to speak for WanderingMorpheme, but I believe what they were saying was that (a) bullet points were generally not accommodated as well as prose was and (b) that Additionally these additions have a promotional tone and does not look like content that would help with the article in the large scope of things meaning prose or no prose they were too promotional sounding for acceptability, in which case, I concurred. Regards, Spintendo  04:22, 30 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the explanation  Spintendo! My newest request amended language in an attempt to alleviate some of those concerns regarding promotional language. WanderingMorpheme: Is the amended language an improvement? Is it possible to evaluate these on a case by case basis too and see if some of the prose meets standards?


 * Thanks to you both for helping me with improving this content JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 14:15, 5 December 2023 (UTC)

I don't see any amended language. If this is a new request, please place it and the template under a new level 2 heading. Regards, Spintendo  03:21, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

Amended language
Hi, Jessica from Mayo Clinic here. Per a suggestion from Spintendo, I am creating a new request with my amended language to update the article. I request adding the below prose to the very end of the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection of the "History" in the order I have presented them (in order to maintain chronology and keep with Wikipedia standards).

Revised edit request with provided clarifications
Thanks Spintendo for reviewing these requests individually. For the two paragraphs you had questions about, I have some alternative language for you to consider:
 * Mayo Clinic's Advanced Care at Home Model of Care launched in 2020 and assists patients in their own homes through virtual care.


 * In 2020, Mayo Clinic began running a federally sponsored Expanded Access Program for Convalescent Plasma to treat hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in the United States.

Thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 16:55, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
 * ✅ Thank you for clarifying these, it's much appreciated. I've implemented both into the Contributions section as requested. Regards, Spintendo  00:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Updated requests for previously declined content
Thanks for implementing two of the requested updates above, Spintendo. I had the opportunity to look at two of the requested updates you previously declined, and wanted to offer some amended language for those given your feedback. Will you consider these additions for the "Contributions to medicine and science" subsection? They can be placed chronologically if you agree.


 * In 2018, Mayo Clinic and UCLA used spinal cord stimulation and physical therapy that resulted in a man paralyzed since 2013 briefly regaining the ability to stand and walk with assistance. The patient was able to walk 111 yards for a total of 16 minutes when given artificial electrical stimulation. The results were published in the journal Nature Medicine.


 * As of 2023, Mayo Clinic had treated more than 10,000 patients with proton beam therapy across two of its facilities. According to Post-Bulletin reporting, proton beam therapy is limited in the U.S., with only 2 percent of radiation patients being treated with the technology.

Thanks JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 21:41, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I've added the information concerning the UCLA electrical stimulation therapy, thank you for clarifying its wording — it's much appreciated. With regards to the beam therapy, this would be acceptable if a companion Wikilink on the therapy could be included in the prose. Not being familiar with this therapy myself, if you could locate which Wkipedia article would work best as a link for that term, that would be helpful. Please advise when ready, by switching the request parameter from y to n. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo  02:30, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

Innovation section
Hello I would like to make a new suggestion for this article to the Innovation section:
 * Add to the beginning of the section:
 * Mayo Clinic leads hundreds of clinical trials and offers therapies such as CAR-T and proton therapies. They are currently one of the leading research centers for the COVID-19 epidemic and were one of the first institutions offering plasma exchange for this patient population. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mayo Clinic developed and adopted treatments that reduced mortality rates and patients with COVID-19 who received care at Mayo Clinic had a lower mortality rate than at other hospitals. Mayo Clinic cofounded the national COVID-19 Health Care Coalition, a private industry effort to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. During 2021, the clinic cared for more than 160,000 COVID-19 patients and tested more than 1.1 million people. It also administered more than 500,000 COVID-19 vaccines and provided more than 19,000 monoclonal antibody infusions. Mayo Clinic Laboratories developed highly accurate diagnostic and antibody tests, performing more than 3.1 million COVID-19 tests for patients nationwide. Fourteen new COVID-19-related tests were launched, and more than 100 new tests of all types were provided to patients and clients in 60 countries.
 * Add "In collaboration with real estate firm Delos Living, Mayo Clinic launched the Well Living Lab in September 2015. This research facility is designed to simulate real-world, non-hospital environments, allowing Mayo Clinic researchers to study the interaction between indoor spaces and human health. "
 * Replace "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation was established in 2008. It has since worked on over 270 projects. " with "The Mayo Clinic Center for Innovation, established in 2008, was one of the pioneers of innovation in healthcare. It has since worked on over 270 projects and is often considered a role model for using design in healthcare. "
 * Add "The video content addresses important questions and answers and is designed to aid in the decision-making process between patient and doctor. " following the sentence that says, "In March 2018, Mayo Clinic and Mytonomy, a healthcare education system company, partnered to provide video content for cancer patients."

Please let me know what you think, thanks. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 13:06, 18 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Note: The full formatting for reference "ref name="Stinson"" does not appear above because it is in the live article already. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 14:28, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Some of the requested changes are currently written in a promotional tone. Please review WP:Neutral point of view and make changes where appropriate to follow this before reopening the request. Zippybonzo &#124;  talk  &#124;  contribs  (they/them) 20:31, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

Article structure
Hello, I wanted to propose some content rearrangement to this article in order to streamline it and make it a bit more readable. I work at Mayo Clinic and have a conflict of interest, which is why I'm seeking consensus here on the Talk page. I think this would help the overall flow of the page. Let me know if there are any questions. JVAtMayoClinic (talk) 17:02, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Change the heading of "Corporate affairs" to "Operations" and then remove the heading named "Core operations"
 * It seems a bit redundant to have all these different headings that mean similar things while also having no prose directly under "Core operations" (instead it moves right into subsections)
 * Place the three subsections of "Clinical practice" "Research" and "Education" under the new "Operations" section heading
