HCA Florida Healthcare-USF Morsani College of Medicine GME - Tampa South-St Petersburg Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, hospital-affiliated Family Medicine residency at HCA Florida St. Petersburg Hospital, structured to produce broadly competent primary care physicians comfortable in both outpatient and inpatient settings rather than subspecialty-focused academicians. Training combines longitudinal continuity clinic experience (HCA Florida St. Petersburg Family Care and Suncoast Family Medical Associates) with a standard breadth of inpatient, obstetric, pediatric, and procedural rotations, plus structured didactics and committee participation (Tumor Board, M&M). Research is supported through HCA's national GME infrastructure (large patient-encounter data, research coordinators, HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine) but is not positioned as central to the program's mission, which instead emphasizes resident well-being, autonomy, and community-oriented, whole-person "human first" care. The program appears to value trainees who want a well-rounded, community-hospital-based generalist experience with institutional emphasis on wellness and longitudinal patient relationships over research-heavy or highly subspecialized training.
