HCA Florida Healthcare-USF Morsani College of Medicine GME - Tampa North-Citrus Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based HCA/USF Morsani-affiliated internal medicine residency at a 204-bed rural county hospital in Citrus County, Florida, functioning as the busiest facility in the region and serving as the primary training site for its own subspecialty fellowships in cardiology, GI, and pulmonary/critical care. The 4+1 block curriculum offers substantial exposure to on-site subspecialty rotations (cardiology, GI, pulmonology, nephrology, heme/onc, neurology) plus a rural clinic and hospice/palliative rotation, reflecting a program built to prepare residents for both community practice and in-house fellowship pursuit. Research is structured through HCA's national GME research infrastructure and system-level data resources, positioned as a supported, ACGME-compliant scholarly activity rather than an academic mission driver. A formalized "Career Support Program" beginning in PGY2, with faculty mentorship and fellowship placement assistance, signals the program values residents with clear, articulated career direction, whether toward subspecialty fellowship or community-based practice.
