Florida State University College of Medicine Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based OB-GYN residency at Lee Health in Cape Coral, Florida, academically affiliated with FSU College of Medicine's mission-driven emphasis on underserved and community-responsive care. The clinical curriculum is broad and progressive, spanning normal and high-risk obstetrics, benign and minimally invasive/robotic gynecologic surgery, subspecialty rotations (gyn-oncology, REI, urogynecology), continuity ambulatory clinics, and critical care exposure, with simulation and structured didactics supporting skill development. The program explicitly frames itself around individualized educational paths, work-life balance, and wellness alongside clinical rigor, rather than a research-first or subspecialty-fellowship-pipeline identity. Research is available through the FSU system (summer fellowships, mentorship networks) but is not positioned as central to this residency's training goals, suggesting the program values well-rounded, adaptable generalist surgeons over dedicated academic scholars.
