Welcome! We are glad you have an interest in our program. We believe we have an excellent training opportunity here in Gainesville, and we are excited to share it with you. The Department of Internal Medicine forms the cornerstone of a strong academic institution. The combination of a thriving tertiary care hospital and a busy Veterans Affairs hospital provides the basis for training. We also have multiple ambulatory settings in which residents are actively involved in the care of a variety of patients. Our facility possesses a full array of subspecialty medical and surgical services, and ake advantage of the training possibilities these services present.
Although the facilities and subspecialty support help to anchor our program, it is clear that the true strengths of our program are our excellent housestaff and faculty. The faculty is dedicated to the development of exceptional physicians. The residents form a cohesive, supportive group that helps our trainees develop both individually and as members of a healthcare team.
We feel that you will like what we have to offer and encourage you to visit Gainesville, meet the people, and tour the facilities. Come see all that Gainesville and the University of Florida have to offer.
