Florida International University - Baptist Health Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a university-affiliated diagnostic radiology residency operating within Baptist Health South Florida's extensive community hospital and specialty institute network, under a formal academic partnership with Florida International University established in 2023. The program benefits from Baptist Health's multi-site tertiary infrastructure, including the Miami Cancer Institute, Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, and Miami Neuroscience Institute, giving residents exposure to a broad range of imaging subspecialties within a large non-academic health system that also runs parallel Interventional Radiology independent and integrated pathways. The presence of dedicated IR tracks alongside the diagnostic residency signals a department building toward procedural and subspecialty depth rather than a purely general-radiology output. As a newly formalized university partnership, the program appears to be constructing its academic identity and research infrastructure in tandem with residency growth, drawing on system-wide resources like the medical library's literature-search and evidence-based practice services.
