Welcome from our Program Director
Thank you for your interest in our Anesthesiology Residency program at HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital located in sunny Brooksville West-Florida, only 40 miles north from Tampa metro area.
Welcome message
We are a three-year ACGME accredited Advanced program and a proud member of the HCA Healthcare/University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine. Our diverse and close-knit residency program works together inside and outside of the operating room creating a positive learning environment. We focus on patient safety, professionalism, and collaboration. Our residents are enthusiastic, highly motivated, and engaged; and our faculty cares deeply about the success of our trainees. Our residents have published research in the world's top anesthesiology journals, presented at national anesthesia meetings, and contributed to quality improvement in our hospital system.
During the first training year, you will learn how to provide safe anesthesia for a range of surgical cases that will progress to more advanced cases and procedures as your training evolves. Our range of surgical cases includes general, urology, vascular, obstetrics, ENT, neuro, transplant, orthopedics, and cardiothoracic surgeries. We have a very busy orthopedic and acute pain service, where you will have ample opportunity to become proficient in spinals and a wide range of regional anesthetic blocks. This broad range of rotation sites contributes to a more expansive knowledge base and robust clinical experience. Our goal is to provide excellent training so that our residents have the skills, capability, and confidence to immediately step into an anesthesiology attending role upon graduation. However, many of our graduates choose to continue their training in subspecialties such as cardiothoracic, critical care, chronic pain, and obstetrics at highly sought-after fellowship programs.
Thank you for your interest in our anesthesiology residency program. We look forward to meeting you!
With Warmest Regards,
Dr. Boles

Program overview
The goal of HCA Florida Oak Hill Hospital's Anesthesiology Residency is to train anesthesiologists through excellence in medical education. We earned our initial accreditation in July 2024 and accept five residents per year, with 15 total residents at program maturity.
To achieve this goal, the Anesthesiology Residency provides a variety of educational experiences.
These experiences prepare the resident to provide anesthesia service to patients with a vast array of medical comorbidities encountered in the practice of medicine. This training program is structured around the clinical competencies and milestones for learning as described by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)
At the culmination of training, residents will have the necessary knowledge base to successfully obtain board certification by the American Board of Anesthesiologists. In addition, trainees will have the requisite credentials needed to compete for and obtain subspecialty training.
