HCA Healthcare's graduate medical education programs are unique because our emphasis is on the individual resident's or fellow's performance. We work on competencies that a physician will face once he or she enters practice, such as core measures and patient satisfaction. We give continuous feedback to our residents and fellows so they will understand where they excel, as well as where they can improve.

Throughout your educational experience, there will be focus on communication between the physician and the patient. We also spend a great deal of time talking about the business side of healthcare. Since HCA Healthcare leads in all these areas, we are uniquely prepared to build you into the very best physician you can be.
