Welcome from our Program Director
A warm welcome to our newly accredited Categorical Internal Medicine Residency Program at HCA Florida Capital Hospital, sponsored by the University of Central Florida. We are excited to begin this new chapter in graduate medical education and to build a program that blends the legacy of medicine with the innovations that will shape its future.
As Program Director, I bring a background in Internal Medicine, Geriatric Medicine, and Palliative Care Medicine, with extensive clinical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as over nine years of involvement in medical education. My goal is to mentor residents in developing not only medical knowledge and clinical skill, but also resilience, empathy, and leadership.
Tallahassee, our home and teaching site, offers a low cost of living, proximity to beautiful beaches, and a dynamic community enriched by Florida's top universities and the energy of the state capital. It is an inspiring and supportive environment in which to live, learn, and grow.
We look forward to welcoming residents who share our passion for advancing medicine, serving patients, and shaping the future of healthcare. Here, you will not only train to meet the needs of today but also become a changemaker for the healthcare challenges of tomorrow.
