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

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community-based, HCA Healthcare-affiliated Transitional Year program in Brooksville, Florida, academically linked to USF Morsani College of Medicine, designed primarily as a clinical base year for residents advancing into categorical programs such as anesthesiology, radiology, or other specialties requiring a preliminary year. The curriculum is broad and individualized, rotating residents through internal medicine, family medicine, emergency medicine, surgery, ICU, pediatrics/OB and electives, with a distinctive executive/administrative leadership rotation exposing residents to healthcare organizational operations. Research is institutionally supported through HCA's national scholarly activity infrastructure (data from over 30 million patient encounters, research coordinators, the HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine) but is not positioned as central to this specific TY year, which functions as a service and readiness year rather than an academic pipeline. The program emphasizes resident wellness and psychological well-being (HCA's "Pathways to Flourishing" model) alongside flexible, individualized scheduling to prepare residents for their next advanced specialty training.
