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

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large community-based, university-affiliated Internal Medicine residency (60 approved positions) at HCA Florida Largo Hospital, a 455-bed statutory teaching hospital within the HCA Florida Healthcare/USF Morsani College of Medicine GME consortium. The clinical environment is tertiary-capable and subspecialty-dense, with on-site fellowships in cardiology, interventional cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonary/critical care and rheumatology, plus advanced services (VAD, ECMO, transplant, robotic bronchoscopy) that give residents exposure to high-acuity, subspecialist-driven care alongside general wards and an ambulatory continuity clinic at Suncoast Internal Medicine Consultants. Research is structurally supported (dedicated research block, national HCA research coordinators, access to 30M+ patient encounters, Scholarly Commons/HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine) and strongly encouraged rather than merely offered, with faculty mentorship required for residents pursuing projects. The absence of overnight call, block-built elective flexibility toward fellowship goals, and heavy in-house subspecialty presence signal a program oriented toward residents planning subspecialty fellowship training while still accommodating primary care-track interests.
