University of Miami-Jackson Health System Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large, academic, university-affiliated program anchored at Jackson Memorial Hospital, one of the nation's largest public safety-net hospitals, with subspecialty exposure through Ryder Trauma Center, Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, Miami Transplant Institute, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and two children's hospitals - giving trainees high-acuity, high-volume experience across trauma, transplant, oncologic, pediatric, and ophthalmic anesthesia. With 26 categorical and 2 advanced positions annually, it is one of the largest anesthesiology programs in the country, drawing a diverse resident cohort from US MD, DO, and international medical schools. An optional six-month mentored research pathway (protected non-clinical time, funded conference travel) explicitly targets residents preparing for subspecialty academic careers, and fellowship outcomes span pain medicine, cardiac, pediatric/congenital cardiac, critical care, and transplant anesthesia at top academic centers. The program values applicants with demonstrated engagement, leadership, and scholarship, and places heavy emphasis on preference signaling in its selection process.
