Audrey Schuetz, M.D.

Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science

Audrey Schuetz, M.D., is professor of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science in Rochester, Minn. She received her B.A. from Davidson College, her M.P.H. from the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health and her M.D. from the Emory University School of Medicine. She completed a residency in internal medicine at the University of Michigan Hospitals and a residency in clinical and anatomic pathology at the Emory University School of Medicine.

Schuetz's interest in antimicrobial resistance aligns with antibiotic stewardship efforts locally and nationally. The appropriate use of antibiotics, or antimicrobial stewardship, has a strong laboratory and patient care component, and Schuetz enjoys bringing together those 2 sides of clinical care via her educational and research efforts. She has worked in global health throughout her career in countries such as Haiti, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam and Zambia. She is board-certified in clinical pathology, anatomic pathology and medical microbiology through the American Board of Pathology and is board-certified by the American Board of Medical Microbiology.  

Currently, Schuetz works with the Minnesota Department of Health on regional and local stewardship education and research and contributes within Mayo Clinic to stewardship efforts. Her research fuels her interest in leading various educational and research efforts within the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, the organization that sets standards and guidelines in the U.S. and worldwide concerning antibiotic testing and reporting, among other things.
