Thank you Merry. You sound very knowledgable and yes, my insurance covers out of state care. I didn’t think of Consumer Reports. Great suggestion. I also over-looked that Mayo would presumably have student doctors as guided by more seasoned doctors. To confirm though, is this the case at Mayo? I had been to teaching dental schools and actualy find them better. I would guess that the same would hold true with teaching hospitals - that is, because the students are being graded, they are more vigilent and thorough (unlike many doctors who have been in practice for a long time and become lazy) as well as supervising doctors who I again would guess would be more enthusiastic due to such positions attracting experienced doctors who enjoy helping doctors in training. All in all, the younger student doctor combined with the more experienced teaching doctor would seem to be a synergistic relationship. Is that your view as well?

@mpflood7- Good morning- Yes, this is my view as well from many of the members on Connect. I have also met some of the interns and doctors even if Mayo isn't my hospital.
