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

Program Identity & Fit

This is a community hospital-based transitional year program in Trinity/Tampa, FL, affiliated with HCA Healthcare/USF Morsani College of Medicine GME, situated within a regional referral center serving a mixed urban-suburban population. The program is structured as a foundation year with thirteen 4-week inpatient, ICU, emergency, and subspecialty blocks intended to prepare residents for advancement into categorical training, rather than as a terminal or primary-care-oriented year itself. Scholarly activity is built into the curriculum through HCA's national research infrastructure (West Florida Division Research Liaison, dedicated research director, access to large patient-encounter datasets), with all residents expected to participate in a research project alongside a faculty mentor. The onsite presence of internal medicine, radiology, cardiovascular disease, and rheumatology programs signals a multidisciplinary teaching environment used to expose TY interns to varied specialty pathways they may pursue afterward.
