Training is anchored at three primary emergency departments, with dedicated pediatric and trauma away experiences that add focused depth without fragmenting the core residency experience.
PRIMARY CLINICAL SITES
Primary training site
HCA Florida North Florida Hospital
Our primary clinical training site and the center of residency education. This 523-bed community-based academic hospital sees more than 85,000 emergency visits annually in an approximately 19,000-square-foot, 38-bed emergency department.
Primary training site
HCA Florida Gainesville Hospital
A 90-bed community hospital that includes critical-care and inpatient rehabilitation services. Our faculty also staff this emergency department, giving residents the same high-quality teaching in a smaller community setting.
Primary training site
HCA Florida West End Freestanding Emergency Department
Residents work one-on-one with attending physicians while caring for undifferentiated patients in a resource-limited freestanding emergency department. The experience emphasizes triage, disposition, autonomy, and department-flow management.
DEDICATED AWAY EXPERIENCES
Pediatrics
Nemours Children's Hospital
Residents complete Pediatric Emergency Medicine and Pediatric Intensive Care experiences at this 135-bed pediatric referral hospital in Greater Orlando, working with board-certified physicians in each subspecialty and caring for children referred from across Florida and the Southeast.
Trauma
HCA Florida Ocala Hospital
Residents complete dedicated trauma rotations at HCA Florida Ocala Hospital, a 222-bed hospital with a busy emergency department and Level II Trauma Center.
Ocala Trauma — PGY-1
PGY-1 residents work on the trauma team, respond to trauma alerts, care for Trauma Service patients on the surgical floor, and participate in secondary surveys, procedures, and bedside evaluation.
Ocala Trauma — PGY-2
PGY-2 residents function as the trauma consult resident, evaluate surgical consults in the ED, respond to trauma alerts as first- or second-resident, help manage critically injured patients with the critical-care team, and supervise interns.
