University of South Florida Morsani Program

Program Identity & Fit

USF Morsani is a university-based internal medicine program anchored by three distinct clinical sites - Tampa General Hospital (a level 1 trauma and tertiary referral center with a roughly 40% indigent/60% funded ward population), the James A. Haley VA (the nation's busiest VA outpatient system and a polytrauma center), and Moffitt Cancer Center (an NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center) - giving residents structured exposure across safety-net, veteran, and quaternary oncologic care. The program builds scholarly activity into its structure through the Scholar's Council mentorship-and-project-tracking curriculum, semiannual career-mapping meetings, and fellowship-specific faculty mentors, alongside dedicated curricula in business of medicine, teaching, and quality improvement. Graduate outcomes split substantially between fellowship (cardiology, GI, heme-onc, pulm/crit care, and others, many staying at USF/Moffitt) and direct hospitalist or primary care practice, indicating the program supports both academic subspecialization and generalist community careers rather than pushing a single track. The program explicitly frames itself as resident-centered, valuing clinical curiosity, contribution to program growth/innovation, and a service-oriented view of patient care.
