The three year Emergency Medicine Residency Program at
Florida Hospital was accredited in 2007 and offers six
categorical positions that began July of 2008. The residency
includes research and the use of cutting edge technology
aligning our program with Florida Hospital's mission of
being a global pacesetter in health care.
Our
program is affiliated with Florida State University and
University of South Florida medical schools. The majority
of training will take place at the Florida Hospital East
Orlando campus, which is located on the east side of metropolitan
Orlando. Florida Hospital East Orlando provides emergency
services to the fast-growing suburban communities in this
locale and is the closest emergency department to Orlando
International Airport. The Emergency Department is the
busiest of all our campuses with a current census of over
74,000 annually.
Our
core faculty represents numerous prestigious academic
institutions and have participated at regional, national,
and international meetings. The academic component of
training is emphasized by a regular schedule of conferences
with mandatory attendance. Continuity of care is an integral
part of residency training at Florida Hospital, and residents
are expected to follow-up on interesting/complicated patients
whom they see in the Emergency Department. Residents are
able to easily track their patient's hospital course and
review discharge summaries, operative reports, and autopsy
reports electronically. Progress in the program is monitored
by evaluations for each rotation as well as annual participation
in the Emergency Medicine In-Service examination. Residents
are expected to participate in research and mentoring
of medical students. Participation in medical missions
is also encouraged.
We are excited and enthusiastic about the opportunity
to work with you at our newly accredited residency program
and look forward to receiving your application. Our main
focus is to provide highly trained Emergency Medicine
physicians who are both evidence based and compassionate.
