UCF/HCA North Florida Emergency Medicine Residency
About Us
North Florida EM offers a high-autonomy, high-impact residency experience where you’re first in line for procedures and decision-making. We are a referral center for an 11-county catchment area, Comprehensive Stroke Center, and Chest Pain Center of Excellence. As an unopposed emergency medicine residency in a dynamic medical center, we prepare you for independent practice by putting you in the thick of it- early and often. Enjoy the sunshine and the outdoors of northern Florida and join a tightknit group dedication to the resident experience!
- How does UCF North Florida get you from an intern to a extraordinary EM physician? Resident-centered experiences! We understand that every learner is different and has unique goals. We believe in taking the time to understand our residents and mentor them both in and out of the hospital. We focus on clinical guidance, as well as, wellness and future career ambitions to truly provide resident-centered mentorship. This has helped our residents achieve their career goals and to stay well throughout residency and beyond!
- Our curriculum is crafted around system-based learning and online-resource utilization. Resident learners will have didactics, FOAMED integration, simulation, small group scenarios and their own educator roles to augment their learning. All didactics are focused on emphasizing what you need to know when practicing high-quality Emergency Medicine in the real world.
- Our clinical faculty are experienced and each provides unique expertise. We have fellowship-trained Ultrasound Directors, multi-county EMS Directors, a simulation educator with formal training, and nationally-recognized Medical Directors. Our program has over 18 years of experience in GME leadership.
- Our ultrasound program is top notch! You will leave our program with advanced US techniques and a passion for clinical ultrasound. Advanced US tracks are available for residents who want to be experts or for fellowship-bound residents! We send teams to compete in US competitions and would love to see you love US as much as we do!
