Program Identity & Fit

This is a small, newly established community-based family medicine residency (four residents per class) built around FIU's academic partnership with Baptist Health, anchored at West Kendall Baptist Hospital and the adjacent Family Medicine Center in Kendall/Miami. The curriculum emphasizes full-spectrum family medicine—adult and pediatric acute/chronic care, women's health including an OB continuity clinic, sports medicine, and community engagement through the Green Family Foundation NeighborhoodHELP mobile health centers and home visits, reflecting FIU Medicine's broader mission of social accountability and service to underserved Miami-Dade communities. Quality improvement and research projects are built into the curriculum and supported by institutional infrastructure (Ph.D. program, translational research centers, annual research symposium), but the program's stated outcomes—100% board pass rate and 65% of graduates employed by Baptist Health—point toward a practice-ready, health-system-integrated orientation rather than an academic/fellowship pipeline. The program appears to value residents who thrive with hands-on community outreach, interprofessional teamwork, and eventual integration into the Baptist Health delivery network.

Who it fits

An applicant whose ERAS narrative centers on community health engagement, underserved/vulnerable population care, and a desire to become a comprehensive full-spectrum family physician embedded within a defined regional health system rather than pursuing subspecialty fellowship training.

Research intensity

Moderate - curriculum incorporates quality improvement and research projects and residents can access FIU's broader research infrastructure, but research is not positioned as central to the program's identity or outcomes.

Career orientation

Mixed - Community Practice, Primary Care
