Clendenon. I am an abdominal transplant surgeon here at Mayo Clinic, Florida. Collaborating with different specialties with different physicians and healthcare providers is one of the things that I think is a hallmark of time at Mayo Clinic and also specifically in transplant. We are a multi-disciplinary service. There are many different viewpoints, many different people that are involved in the care of any given patient and working closely with people that have different perspectives. The thing that I loved the most about working here at Mayo Clinic is the opportunity that I'm given to take the time to build a relationship with the patients. This is often a very difficult time for a patient when they're coming in with end organ failure and taking that time to get to know them what they need and then working with them in a partnership to find the best solution for them, I think is the thing that I liked the most about my job.
