Dear Prospective Applicant,
The Gainesville Internal Medicine Residency Program in the University of Central Florida/HCA Healthcare Graduate Medical Education Consortium welcomes you to learn more about our training program. Our primary affiliated hospital is HCA Florida North Florida Hospital in Gainesville, Florida.
Our internal medicine residency program accepts applications from NRMP. Our program can be found in ERAS using NRMP #1587140C2. We have been ACGME accredited since 2015 and currently have full 10-year accreditation.
We match 20 residents to participate in our 3-year training program.
We look forward to reviewing your ERAS application as well as letters of recommendation that are personally supportive of you and your fit for our program. We follow NRMP match regulations and we do not personally respond to requests (email, phone or otherwise) made by applicants or their surrogates outside of the application, interview, and match process.
We will consider all applications; however, preference is given towards applicants from LCME or AOA accredited medical schools.
Our typical candidate is one that has completed their USMLE Step 1 and 2 with scores of greater than 218/234 (or COMLEX scores of 458/484), passing on the first attempt. Priority is given to candidates 2 years or less from the end of medical school training.
Individuals with strong interpersonal and communication skills is a requirement for our program. Additionally, we screen applicants for willingness to work hard, ability to accept feedback with humility, and show compassion towards patients.
We provide a solid foundation in general internal medicine, allowing you to follow any medicine fellowship path or generalist career path. Our residents spend most of their time at HCA North Florida Hospital interacting with faculty on our 25-plus rotation assignments.
Best wishes,
Yvette Bazikian, MD
Program Director
