AdventHealth Florida Wesley Chapel Program

Program Identity & Fit

AdventHealth Wesley Chapel is a faith-based, community-oriented Family Medicine residency built around a whole-person (body-mind-spirit) model of care, situated in a rapidly growing suburban Tampa-area community with a state-of-the-art hospital and wellness campus. The curriculum is broad and generalist, spanning inpatient family medicine, ICU, ER, pediatrics, OB/GYN, sports medicine, psychiatry, correctional medicine, geriatrics and palliative care, with a longitudinal underserved-clinic experience running across all three years signaling a service and continuity-of-care orientation over subspecialty procedural volume. Research exists through the AdventHealth-wide Center for Academic Research Excellence (CARE) with biostatistician and mentor support, but the program's own materials emphasize scholarly activity as a supported requirement rather than a defining identity, consistent with a full-spectrum, community-practice-oriented family medicine training rather than an academic or fellowship pipeline. The program's stated mission-driven, relationship-centered approach and explicit diversity/inclusion intentionality suggest it values residents drawn to holistic patient relationships, service to underserved populations, and comfort with a faith-integrated institutional culture.
