University of Miami-Jackson Health System Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a large, high-acuity academic program built on the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial partnership, one of the busiest public safety-net systems in the country, with 3,900-4,250 deliveries annually and one of the largest NICUs in the U.S. (126+66 beds, Level IV) feeding a high-risk obstetric population. Residents train across multiple sites (Jackson Memorial, Jackson North/South, UHealth Tower, Sylvester Cancer Center, Jackson West Reproductive Medicine) exposing them to indigent, uninsured, immigrant and international patients alongside tertiary and quaternary referral pathology, including active fellowships in Gyn Onc, MFM, and REI signaling breadth of subspecialty exposure. Research is structurally supported (dedicated research coordinator and statistician, GME-wide Research Scholarly Activity Program) but framed as mentored and accessible rather than mandatory for all residents. The program explicitly values compassion, resilience, cultural sensitivity, and genuine commitment to an underserved, multiethnic, multilingual South Florida population over a narrow academic pedigree.
