HCA Florida Healthcare-USF Morsani College of Medicine GME - Tampa North-Trinity Hospital Program

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, HCA Healthcare-affiliated four-year Diagnostic Radiology residency in Trinity, FL, academically linked to USF Morsani College of Medicine, accepting six residents per year after a preliminary intern year in Internal Medicine, Transitional Year, or Preliminary Surgery. The absence of competing radiology fellows ensures residents receive direct, unshared exposure to procedures and imaging across all subspecialties, with the program actively pursuing ESIR designation to shorten IR fellowship training for interested residents. Clinical training is embedded in a collegial, multidisciplinary conference structure (journal clubs, tumor boards, grand rounds) with institutional research infrastructure (West Florida Division Research Director, access to HCA's large patient-encounter dataset) supporting scholarly output, though research is framed as supportive rather than central. The program explicitly aims to produce graduates prepared for either competitive subspecialty fellowships or direct entry into academic or private practice, valuing well-rounded clinical competence and collegiality over a singular academic identity.
