Mission Statement:
The
Emergency Medicine Residency is operated by Florida Hospital,
a not-for-profit health care institution, to further its
mission "To extend the healing ministry of Christ."
We do so by preparing compassionate and competent emergency
medicine physicians.
In
its striving for excellence, the residency program is
committed to serving the community, the sponsoring institution,
the faculty, staff, and resident physicians.
Education
Statement:
Emergency
medicine is a specialty which focuses upon the initial
evaluation, diagnosis, and stabilization of patients with
acute illnesses or injuries. In addition, the emergency
medicine physician initiates treatment, involves consultants,
makes disposition decisions, and makes appropriate follow-up
arrangements for patients discharged from the Emergency
Department.
The
purpose of the Emergency Medicine Residency is to provide
a progressive, organized educational program with guidance
and supervision which facilitates the resident's personal
and professional development while ensuring appropriate
and safe patient care. Residents in our program join a
department that emphasizes lifelong learning, creativity,
and professionalism. Our aim is to provide this training
through a continuity of didactic and clinical experience.
Our goal is to produce a physician capable of a high level
of performance who is certified by the American Board
of Emergency Medicine.
Florida
Hospital
Florida
Hospital is one of the largest and busiest hospitals in
the country with a broad and diverse patient base. It
serves as a community hospital for Greater Orlando and
as a major tertiary referral hospital for Central Florida
and much of the Southeast, the Caribbean, and Latin America.
As the population of Central Florida grows steadily, Florida
Hospital continues to expand its capacity with new buildings
and state-of-the-art facilities. With more than 1,800
beds, Florida Hospital is a comprehensive private, not-for-profit
healthcare network. It consists of seven hospitals, including
Florida Children's Hospital, and more than a dozen CentraCare
walk-in urgent care centers that treat in excess of one
million patients per year. Florida Hospital is a faith-based
organization with the mission to extend the healing ministry
of Christ.
Florida Hospital offers a wide range of health services
for the entire family, including nationally and internationally
recognized programs in cardiac care, cancer, diabetes,
digestive health, women's medicine, the neurosciences,
pediatric surgery, transplant surgery, orthopedics and
rehabilitation.
Florida Hospital has been involved in residency education
for more than 30 years. Since the early 1970's, there
has been a solid and growing Family Medicine residency
program that is now one of the largest in the country
with 48 residents and 4 fellows. The addition of the Emergency
Medicine residency program expands our educational and
academic presence and solidifies the base of emergency
medicine physicians to meet the growing needs of our population.
