Welcome from our Program Director
On behalf of our Internal Medicine Residency Program, I warmly welcome you as you begin this exciting chapter in your medical journey. Your interest in our program reflects your dedication and potential to become exceptional physicians.
Program Overview
The HCA Florida JFK Hospital/University of Miami Miller School of Medicine GME Consortium Internal Medicine Residency Program is committed to training compassionate, highly skilled internists who are prepared to excel in every stage of their careers. Our mission is to develop confident clinicians, educators, and future leaders through outstanding clinical training, mentorship, and evidence-based medicine.
A defining strength of our program is training in two complementary healthcare systems. Residents rotate at HCA Florida JFK Hospital, a busy community teaching hospital with a diverse, high-acuity patient population, and the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center, where they care for veterans within an integrated healthcare system. This dual-site experience broadens clinical exposure, strengthens clinical judgment, and prepares graduates to care for diverse patient populations in a variety of practice settings.
Our innovative 4+2+2 scheduling model enhances both education and resident well-being by separating inpatient, ambulatory, and elective experiences. This structure minimizes competing responsibilities, improves continuity, provides dedicated time for subspecialty exploration and scholarly activity, and promotes a healthy work-life balance.
Residents receive comprehensive training across inpatient, outpatient, and elective rotations, developing the clinical judgment and progressive autonomy needed for careers in primary care, hospital medicine, or competitive fellowship training. Faculty from every internal medicine subspecialty provide close mentorship, and opportunities for career development and scholarly activity.
What truly distinguishes our program is our culture. We foster an environment built on teamwork, professionalism, accountability, and compassion, where residents are challenged academically, supported personally, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Our faculty are deeply invested in each resident's success, creating a collaborative learning environment that prepares graduates to become exceptional internists and lifelong learners.
