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

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based academic internal medicine program, affiliated with USF Morsani College of Medicine and sponsored under the HCA Healthcare GME system, begun in 2019 at HCA Florida Trinity Hospital. Training follows a 2+2+2 block structure alternating inpatient/ICU/subspecialty exposure with continuity ambulatory clinic, supplemented by daily didactics, POCUS/simulation curriculum, and structured evaluation via ACGME milestones. The presence of an on-site cardiovascular disease fellowship and rheumatology fellowship, plus explicit institutional research infrastructure (division research director, research liaison, access to HCA's 30-million-encounter dataset, Scholarly Commons, and an in-house journal), signals a program pushing residents toward scholarly output even though the core identity leans toward producing broadly competent hospital- and primary-care-grounded internists prepared for fellowship or practice. The program frames itself as valuing individualized learning, progressive independence, and mentorship-driven professional growth rather than a narrow subspecialty or underserved mission.
