Welcome to our Web home!  We're glad you have chosen to visit us and find out who we are.  People visit web sites for many different reasons but most likely you are either a medical student looking for a residency program that fits your needs or a resident looking for a fellowship opportunity.  Whatever your reason for being here, let's see if we can give you the information you need quickly and precisely.

First... "Why Family Medicine?"

We believe a family physician is the one person in a very confusing healthcare world that specializes in the patient. Rather than focusing on a specific organ system or disease, we want to be someone the patient can look to for guidance, comfort, knowledge and sound advice.  We can take care of over 90% of the medical problems that cause a person to seek out a physician.  And we can do that in the most up-to-date and efficient manner.  We strive to have scientific evidence for every treatment or test that we prescribe.  In addition, however, we see every patient as an individual with unique needs and circumstances.  Our mission is to apply the never-ending body of scientific knowledge at the individual level.  Mental, Physical and Spiritual needs are all accounted for.  No matter what age, sex, race or culture, no matter what specialist is needed or procedure planned, we commit to being a consistent resource and reassurance…the familiar, friendly face.

Second... "Why Florida Hospital Family Medicine Residency?"

We are a well-established, fully accredited, unopposed residency program based at a large community hospital setting with extensive tertiary services and located in a great place to live.  What more could you ask for?

How about this?... As a resident here you will have 47 other "partners" to learn and associate with.  In spite of the size, our residents are a very supportive and closely-knit family. We have over 25 full-time faculty members including not only family physicians, but internists, geriatricians, obstetricians, pediatricians, dermatologist, psychologists, pharmacists, chaplain, research specialist and practice management experts.

As you will see in these pages, our benefits are competitive and our curriculum comprehensive.  Most importantly, however, when family physicians leave here having completed all residency requirements, they will be exceptionally equipped to be the complete "family" physician every person needs. 

Come see us in person... find out what is inside our program... decide to join us.

For application to our residency program, we participate in the ERAS process.  Please obtain your student workstation disk from your dean's office.  For international graduates, please contact the ECFMG office.  For students interested in our externship program, please visit our externship page for more information.

Sincerely, Kris Gray, MD Director
