Why Mayo Clinic

Mayo Clinic is top-ranked in more specialties than any other care provider according to U.S. News & World Report.

As we work together to put the needs of the patient first, we are also dedicated to our employees, investing in competitive compensation and comprehensive benefit plans – to take care of you and your family, now and in the future.

And with continuing education and advancement opportunities at every turn, you can build a long, successful career with Mayo Clinic. You’ll thrive in an environment that supports innovation, is committed to ending racism and supporting diversity, equity and inclusion, and provides the resources you need to succeed.

Responsibilities

Mayo Clinic in La Crosse, Wisconsin, is seeking a Rheumatologist to join its Department of Rheumatology. In addition to clinical duties, the position offers opportunities to engage in education, research, and administrative activities, based on interest and experience.

The Department seeks candidates who can add complementary interest and expertise in areas such as inflammatory arthritis, autoimmune connective tissue diseases and general Rheumatology. The ability to perform ultrasound assisted procedures independently would be an asset. You will be joining a team of three Rheumatologists in Wisconsin, along with two Advance Practice Providers based in La Crosse.

A career as a Mayo Clinic Physician isn’t just challenging and fulfilling – it is life-changing. At Mayo Clinic, you have at your fingertips the most talented, experienced physicians in the world – ready to collaborate with you to find answers for our patients. It’s an environment with plenty of options to grow professionally, where you and your colleagues will continue to inspire one another.

The primary practice location will be our Outpatient Clinic in Onalaska, WI, which is about 10 minutes from our La Crosse Hospital and Clinic. Specific details will be discussed during the application process.

La Crosse, WI, is a city of 52,000 with a metro area of 120,000 in the Upper Mississippi River Valley, located between Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN, and Madison, WI. The area offers unlimited, four-season recreational opportunities (biking, golf, hiking the bluffs and cross-country/downhill skiing).

We have a great family environment with safe and high-quality schools, including two universities and a technical college. There are sport events, a local symphony orchestra, theaters, children's museum and a civic center.
