HCA Florida JFK Hospital-University of Miami Miller School of Medicine GME Consortium Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, university-affiliated internal medicine program (HCA/University of Miami Miller School of Medicine Consortium) that trains residents across two complementary sites—HCA Florida JFK Hospital, a high-acuity community teaching hospital with a robust cardiovascular and subspecialty infrastructure, and the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center, providing continuity care for a veteran population. The program's distinctive 4+2+2 block structure separates inpatient, ambulatory, and elective time to protect continuity, wellness, and scholarly pursuits, and the presence of onsite cardiology, EP, hospice/palliative, and interventional cardiology fellowships gives residents visible in-house subspecialty mentorship and elective depth. Career messaging is explicitly balanced across primary care, hospital medicine, and fellowship, with research support available through HCA's national GME research infrastructure (data access, national coordinators, HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine) rather than positioned as a defining identity. The program emphasizes culture—teamwork, accountability, professionalism—and progressive autonomy over a research-heavy or quaternary-academic self-image.
