University of Central Florida-HCA Florida Healthcare Greater Orlando-Osceola Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated community program (UCF/HCA Healthcare) based at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital, a Level III NICU/Level II Trauma community hospital, with a four-year, 12-resident complement drawing on both allopathic and osteopathic faculty. Clinical training spans a broad multi-site network (Osceola Hospital, Orlando VA, The IVF Center, dedicated MFM and GYN oncology practices) with a distinctive, faculty-led chronic pelvic pain clinic at the VA and access to an in-house REI fellowship and robotic/MIGS exposure. Research is structured but not central: residents complete a PGY1-2 quality improvement project and a PGY3-4 clinical research project, supported by HCA's national research infrastructure and IRB/statistics resources, with an explicit institutional emphasis on resident wellbeing and autonomy-supportive faculty culture. The program frames its mission around producing well-rounded community-based OB/GYN physicians and physician leaders ready for independent practice or subspecialty fellowship, with structured subspecialty rotations preparing residents for both general practice and fellowship pathways (REI, MFM, ONC, UROGYN).
