University of Miami Hospital and Clinics-Holy Cross Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated community-based program pairing Holy Cross Hospital's private, non-profit community hospital environment with University of Miami Miller School of Medicine academic resources, explicitly marketed as "the best of both worlds." The 4+2 ambulatory-block curriculum, dedicated continuity clinics (including a Cardiometabolic Clinic and an LGBTQ+/HIV-focused Wilton Manors practice), and volunteer work at a free clinic for uninsured patients demonstrate a strong outpatient and underserved-care orientation rather than a tertiary quaternary-referral identity. Career preparation is broad and flexible, explicitly supporting primary care, hospital medicine, subspecialty fellowship, and academics/global-public health, reinforced by a Global Health Track offering international electives for select PGY-2 residents. Research is present through resident scholarly activity infrastructure at the parent institution but is not positioned as central to this community-based site's identity, which instead emphasizes generalist clinical skill-building, leadership/teaching roles with medical students, and community engagement.
