BayCare Health System-St. Anthony's Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

St. Anthony's Hospital Internal Medicine is a newer, community-based program (its resident roster includes multiple inaugural-class trainees) situated within BayCare Health System, a large not-for-profit academic health system in West Central Florida with an explicit safety-net mission serving uninsured, underinsured and underserved patients alongside those with established care access. The curriculum follows a standard 4+2+2 block structure with longitudinal continuity clinic every six weeks, ICU, night float, subspecialty rotations and individualized elective time, emphasizing general internal medicine and primary care rather than a defined subspecialty or research pathway. Program materials and resident testimonials repeat themes of mentorship, resident well-being, compassionate patient-centered care and community service, with no described named research tracks, dedicated research curriculum, or fellowship placement data, suggesting research is available but not a structural priority. BayCare's system-wide expansion (new academic corridor, Northwestern Medicine collaboration) signals institutional growth, but at the program level the emphasis is on building a supportive clinical training culture for well-rounded general internists.
